Piles

I have been staring at a blank page for several days, disappointed that nothing interesting has come to me.  Almost halfway through the month and the things posted in this blog could just be relocated twitter posts. It shames me a bit to admit that I seem to be able to produce little more than a few choppy sentences here and there, while I can ramble on for days elsewhere.

The biggest hurdle I can think of is one of the reasons I wanted to have this blog in the first place.  I wanted to share opinions on things without it having to have a niche blog spin to it.  I have been blogging off and on for years, but having it be available under my name and not some pseudonym is still a bit new and quite intimidating to me. After attempting to instead embrace that, I realize I either want to just rant about something or just bullet point out what I have been doing.  Unfortunately, this is mostly due to timing.

Even though I knew better,  I still made the decision to do the November writing challenges while we have been gutting the freshly acquired commercial building.  Placing these things on top of already occupied time slots was an impulsive idea that only serves as an exhausting distraction.  But sometimes stupid ideas are still good for something. The challenges helped me figure out what I was struggling with for so long on the-writing-project-that-will-probably-never-be-completed and I am trying a different approach to solving the blank page problem.

It is either that or delirium. Whatever works.
