I am a woman of action.
My family and friends would agree. I commit and go about how to do what I have committed myself to expeditiously. Up until 13 days ago I would have blindly sworn on a stack of bibles that I am a woman of action.
What could possibly happen to change that fact?
I hit the proverbial brick wallI
I have not blogged.
What changed? What happened?
If I knew I would tell you. I would, in detail, and adnaseum describe how I came to that, pinpoint the exact second and tell you how I was planning to fix it. If I knew...
I don't. I can't tell you what happened.
Its not for lack of subject matter. In fact, I have various subjects I want to write about. I can't bring myself to write. Its almost like I have "blog depression". As if the thrill and desire to put something out into the universe and see how it will be received is gone.
So after mulling it over and having all these quiet talks with myself, I do what comes naturally to me when I have an issue to deal with or come up against a bump in the road, I talk it out; in this case I blog about it. DO I think this will help anyone down the road? Not sure. I would like to think that I am providing some answers. Most of all I hope to jump start my mind and get the creative juices flowing again.
I have alot to say and very little time to say it in; here's hoping the muse will come back.
The Thrill is GONE... MAYBE???

Wow. I know people suffer this "Blog depression"--it can also be called "writer's block," "writing anxiety," even boredom or depression. I mean, what could keep people on the couch watching the Young and the Restless (guilty as charged) instead of doing the important work they should do in an academic class?
I mean, I'm not suggesting you're watching soap operas. Because it doesn't really matter in the end, right? What matters, for students like you, is the connection with their audience. And the grade matters, too. Suffer through this--and write! You might just have an epiphany...
it happens, don't let it get you down. it must be really hard to have to do this for a class, esp when you are not "feeling" it all the time. i'll be patiently waiting for you muse to return..
