My dear Friends….I am back writing
my thoughts. I am going to try and pace myself this time around so that I do
not burn out. I will enjoy myself more this time around. Yes it is still work
because it does take an effort to put my thoughts on paper – it is not easy to
do it as often as I do…but I will do it for myself. And if you read what I
write I am grateful. Sometimes it is so easy to put my thoughts on paper
because the ideas within my head are rushing to get out. Sometimes I cannot
even wait to get to my PC – I just grab the pen and paper that is always beside
me for that very reason, and write what is in my head. And whether I am on my
PC or writing it down my ability to keep up with what is coming out of my head
is never quick enough. And frustrations sets in…and this is what I do…I skip a
few words and sometimes a whole line…putting just dots instead of words, and carry
on writing …and come back to those blanks later to fill them in! And then of
course there are times when nothing works. Emptiness reigns within my head and
nothing I do will kick start it into second gear. These last two days is a good
example. So I go to the net and look up inspirational speeches, words, quotes…anything
that will motivate me to write…. But still nothing! I took my wife to the Greek
groceries to get some Haloumi (Greek Cheese) and then to the supermarket for other
groceries. Got back home and had a shower to freshen me up. Sat down at my PC –
nothing! And so I give up and told myself that today I will watch whatever football
matches there are coming in from South Africa….and I hope the change will do me
good. Getting writer’s block just two weeks into starting my blog must go with
the territory for other bloggers too. Amen.
You're a good read even with writer's block, my friend. That's because you write from the heart.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are writing again. I always enjoy your writings, and honestly, I missed them when you stopped for a while. I hope you will write as often as is possible. You tell the truth and your jottings are sincere.
