Ack!

I haven't posted in over a week! That really doesn't help the writer's block any. The pressure, the blank white nagging page of pressure, of having nothing meaningful or clever to say or write about is only making it harder to put words on the page. Then there's the little Demon of Doubt who sits in the corner and mockingly asks, "Who's going to want to read what you write anyhow?" It's hard to ignore him. If I was writing on paper, I could crinkle and crumple up the trashed drafts and throw them at him, but I'm typing so I guess I'll look for paperclips. I can't really throw my keyboard keys at him.

Back on track. Focus is a problem for me when trying to think of something to write as well. I can't keep a thought in my head very long before someone or something creates a distraction and I've got to switch gears. It's hard to write something when someone wants you to wipe her nose or look for his iPod earbuds. I gave up for a while.

Another problem maker for me is my tendency to be too direct. I have a habit of saying just what I mean and I think that should be enough, no explanation needed. My fault is I think I don't need to expand on the statement I just made because I just spoke the truth. I don't have anything else to add to that. See? It's kind of self defeating, isn't it?

Thanks for putting up with the rambling. At least it is a post.
