It's scary how I can be in a writing mood, but I stare at a
blank page for hours uncertain what to write. Then again, even if I have an
idea on what I'm going to write, I always have issues with the beginnings. I
can have all the notes in the world about the piece, and that first paragraph
eludes me. Sometimes, it takes me a day to even begin the first sentence.
Even though
I wasn't planning on updating this blog tonight, but I figured writing
something is better then nothing. I was plan on writing something a little more
serious, but I couldn't find a beginning that would lead into the next chapter,
a good short story, or even a poem. Mentally, I'm avoiding poetry due to being
more focused on a novel, but it's sad when my mind can't even do that much
without going blank.
Oddly, as I
sit here rambling, an idea is forming. Too bad it's not the next chapter, but
something worth posting. This is the main reason I keep this blog. If I'm
stuck, I can start writing something for here, and my mind normally breaks
free. As I said in the past, "A blog is really a place to flush the mind
of random thoughts so you can focus. The literally equivalent of taking a
really good shit."
My last
thought before I try to start on something else. I see a lot of page views, but
very comments. I begin to wonder if the adult content scares the readers from
commenting, or people are afraid to speak their minds. It's a public forum. If
I posted here, don't be afraid to speak your mind. Besides, if I didn't want to
know what people think I wouldn't post this online.
