The cure for writer's cramp is writer's block.
Inigo DeLeon
I don?t like to hear that but it?s true! One day you can be writing like a madman and the story is flowing like a river. My hands tend to cramp a little when I have days like that because everything is just pouring out of me so fast I can?t stop for a break. Then there are other days when I just sit and stare at the screen. My hands don?t hurt then. Still, I don?t like those days at all!
I have ideas, lots and lots of them. Before I write them all down, I get to the computer screen and freeze so a lot of them remain fragmented dreams in my head. This weekend I have felt especially blah. I sit in front of the computer screen and try to get myself motivated but the most that happens is dry eyes from staring at the screen for so long.
Well, tomorrow will be better ? I hope!
I say ? and you think ?
1. RE: Your blog - when did you start and what made you do it?
I started an online blog by following a link to a site with diaries. I was keeping a journal offline and I thought this might be fun so I figured I?d give it a try!
2. RE: Someone else?s blog: Is there someone who runs a blog that inspired or inspires you to start and maintain your own? Who are they and what is so special about them?
Actually, no. The inspiration to keep journaling comes from within me. I just have to write. Even if I don?t have a story, I have an overwhelming urge to write something every day.
3. Show me the linkage! Give us some blog linkage that contain some of your favorite posts and content - - who are they? Why are you linking them?
Well, this is similar to last week?s question so I?m going to try to listen new picks:
I Speak of Dreams has interesting bits of information, lots of pictures & links to articles
Back to Iraq is written by a correspondent who details what life is like there now for westerners as well as other issues
Say What? is a journal written by a Norwegian. I began reading it because my grandfather was Norwegian. Now I read because I enjoy the articles and topics.
No Pain No Gain is written by an Iraqi woman living in New Zealand, longing for her home
Mrs.-Alcoholic's blog really strikes a note with me. My parents are/were alcoholics. I relate strongly to many of her entries. I've had very similar experiences.
