Resuscitating the Blog
It’s quite weird how I was so much into blogging a couple of months back and a month later, the fuel for the fire kind of just ran out. It’s not about not wanting to write so much as running out of things to write about.
I tend to spend an hour writing a single sentence because I have to keep reading it aloud in my head hoping ten minutes later it’ll sound right. Obviously, it isn’t working to my advantage if it’s keeping me from writing. So starting with this entry, I’m gonna do a little bit of good ol’ freewriting with a little bit of censorship.
A college professor once told me that the only way to overcome writer’s block is obejctification. Turn it into a block of wood maybe, and write about it. Essentially, it’s about writing why you can’t.
I stopped writing a couple of times before and each time I come back, the homecoming post borders somewhere along the lines of why I stopped writing and my good intentions of returning. I guess she isn’t wrong about it after all.
