The Daily Grind Day 15: Me Vs. Writer's block

So I’ve basically stared at the same blank word document for 2 hours trying to produce something meaningful and whimsical for you lovely folks today, instead I’ve come across one of the worst cases of writers block I’ve had in a long, long while.

 

                What causes writers block? See: http://www.writing-world.com/basics/block1.shtml Really good article there, and now I take some of that advice while I fight my own, inability to know what to write.

 

So ,my friends, what do I write about now with you folks? I can’t see anything that I’m typing and I’m just going off now with any word that comes to mind to bring out on this paper and to your eyes. It’s currently 11:19pm PST and I’m listening to Atmosphere “hope” This song is phenomenal from a written standpoint. It’s actually uplifting in lyrics, and I listen to it anytime I need to be uplifted just a little.

 

Today I reflected on friendships and what they mean to me and how they can change, go away, or develop into something new all together, I have made and lost a lot of friends over my lifetime. I lost a good friend to the jail system and just stopped writing to him, which is disheartening some days knowing that I let such a good friendship fall to the wayside, but really how good of a friendship was it?  Was I enabling him or him me? I don’t know, probably never will.

 

There are friendships I have ended because that person broke my trust, I hate losing friends but it’s a must sometimes . I have strict guidelines for friends and if I can’t trust you then you’re gone. Sorry but it’s the way it goes.

 

There are other people that I will be great friends with until the end of my time at least, and those people will know who they are. If you think it’s you well you’re probably right.

 

I lost my train of thought again, and off I go rambling back to the paper again, freewriting/blind writing scheme that I’m going on and just trying to get the words out so that I may be able to focus on what’s really necessary again. I need a moment of clarity, so that I can see what it is that I’m supposed to write about on a daily basis,, I doubt that it’s going to be that easy, nothing’s that easy.

I’ve got 34 minutes before I have to make this post, and yes folks you are getting me fighting writers block as today’s post so you can see what I go through in my head to try and bring you a post on the daily.

 

Now thoughts that will probably keep me out of good schools for my lifetime.

Why does Swiss cheese  have holes?

Why is money valuable? Money is oriented on paper, and paper isn’t worth what the value that we print on it is. Then why is money worth that value?

Hwy is a pickle just a cucumber?

Why did they call it pickle?

Who decided what to cal things?

 

 

That’s it folks, I’ve done all the writing that I can think to do tonight, I can’t keep babbling on about random nothingness, like banana peppers are good for plugging holes in your boat to keepe the cottage cheese monster from getting into your vessel.

 

 

Welp goodnight.

George
