Becoming/being addicted to writing!

I got introduced to the Internet writing world in January, 2000 and it's been non-stop since! It has become addictive--I HAVE to write everyday--I HAVE to read all the writings I subscribe to--I HAVE to comment.
I really didn't have anything different to write about today--I try to have a different subject each time--but what would I write about? It is an absolutely beautiful day here in South Florida in the 80s, sunny and a good breeze--I feel (and look) great--at this moment in my life there isn't a negative in sight--how many times can I write about THAT without getting people nauseous??? Envious? Non-believing?
So why did/do I feel guilty about not having something to post today? Why did I have to write about that?
IS THERE A INTERNET WRITERS ANONYMOUS YET?????????????????

@GreatMartin It's kinda like a well-blended outcome.

I love writing. It is my passion and yet I don't write every day. I should but I guess I am not motivated enough to do it. If I wrote everyday than maybe my second novel would be finished already and so would my new poetry book I am working on and my poetic tale too.

Writing is a discipline--I have written every day for over 70 years and consequently I have had 8 books published, one play produced and have written over 65,000 blogs.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to writing but I certainly give it a lot of time. I began writing online in November 2012 and in three years I have written about 1000 short articles and poems. I'm looking for ways to get some of them printed in the form of books.

Be careful of self-publishing--it can be a money trap--plus it is a lot of hard work selling your own book!

I am glad it is a beautiful day there in Florida and I like these types of posts instead of the ones where people are always moaning and groaning about things as that is so depressing. Wish everyone would start writing about something Positive as we all have Positives in our Life if we just wake up and smell the roses or look up at the Blue of the Sky and see the Beauty.Thanks for a nice Positive Discussion.

Non-believing mostly. LOL Mayb writing sites for writers and that is about as close to Writer's Anonymous as it gets.
