As you can see from the last post (which was a while ago), I've had a bit of writer's block. And since I still have not found something to write about, I decided to go ahead and just start writing.
So our first topic of discussion will be the very disease that has been wracking my brain for the last couple weeks, writer's block itself. It really did take me by surprise, I wouldn't have thought that it could happen to me. While at work one day I realized I hadn't written anything for a while, and then found the reason was that I just had nothing to talk about. My sister (the wise woman she is), told me, "it might be an indication that you just have nothing good to say." So I took it upon myself to do what any good brother would do, prove her wrong (this is my pathetic attempt). But back to writer's block, I feel that it comes as a combination of two things. One, which I've already talked about, is the lack of ideas. But two (the harder one to admit), is pure laziness. My inner fire had been extinguished, my blogging passion vaporized. And even though I could feel it coming, I let it happen, as any novice writer would do. Like cigarettes, the longer you wait the harder it is to let go, and here I am now, struggling to come up with anything that you, my faithful readers, can read on your computer screen.
[By the way, I know that no one reads this, so in an attempt to stop the relentless comments, I just don't care]
But I feel like right now, as I'm writing this, that something inside is trying to get that inner fire back. Like an antibiotic fighting a infectious bacteria, I am washing over my writer's block with every keystroke. Like the many triumphant germans tearing down the Berlin wall in 1989, I am ripping off block for block what are the walls of writer's block. Like a....just kidding.
For every post I make on this website, I want to thank what must be the most bored people on the planet for reading this (no offense) by offering up what may be called, in a convoluted way, advice. If you ever find yourself having trouble writing, may it be an essay, speech, screenplay, or even a blog (I hope to god it's better than this one), that you just simply write. Take a piece of paper, or even the notepad on your computer, and just start writing your thoughts. And by thoughts I mean anything, anything at all. And I promise, that no matter how long it takes, that you'll find your hands and fingers start doing the talking by themselves. Profound, I know.
