Blockage

I can never get started. I have ideas of what to write about and on occasion I’ll write it down in my little moleskine so I don’t forget. But, then, I usually forget I wrote it down. I always have the notion to be disciplined about writing everyday. I wake up two hours earlier than I really need to just to have some of my precious introverted time which I could be using to throw something up on the screen. One of my problems, I believe, is that I read your blogs in my reader and thus, either, run out of time or lose my inspiration because you guys are much better writers than I.

My other problem is that I have a bit stage fright when it comes to people actually reading what I wrote. I really enjoy writing and I enjoy that you folk(s) actually read what I have to say even if it isn’t that important. But, it’s that inner critic or censor gets in the way of what little creativity or motivation I may have. I suppose it’s time to dust off my copy of The Artist’s Way and actually work through it this time. I started it almost ten years ago but never really worked through it.

I think that critic/censor won that round . . .

New Year Blankness

I’ve been reading all these blogs with New Year’s resolutions listed and some blogs wonderfully written on the newness of a new year. Me? I got nothing. It’s not that I don’t want to write something cool for the new year it’s just that I’m drawing a complete blank on what to write about.

I guess I could write a little bit about how I have found a comfortable spot with my interim rigging supervisor position. But then again, that won’t last because the real one comes back on the 8th.

I could write about the wonderful Christmas expressions of joy that the Young Extroverted One gave during the holiday. How she got the stuffed leopard that she wanted from Santa and a really cool bicycle from mom and dad.

All of these are good things to write about but my creativity for the new year is null. Probably because I’ve been working so much and now things are a little calm at work. Now, I can sit back and reflect. Maybe this has turned out to be a list of things for me to write about when I get the chance/inspiration. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Whew, I feel better now.
