Empty Pages And Full Minds
There aren't many things stranger for a blogger than facing the computer with no idea of what to write.
Bloggers are, by nature, folks who like to spill the beans, regularly and in easy-to-digest portions.
Personally, I rarely have a day when I can't immediately get into the blog post at hand—I do keep my InternetRadar turned on for probable topics…
So, today, I looked over the possible options on my ToBlog List and nothing grabbed me.
Being, by nature, a writer, I noticed that peculiar condition that feels like a balloon, full-to-bursting with air, having more air added…
These words are my controlled attempt to let some of the gaseous substance escape before I blow a mental gasket.
Creative writers are, by nature, strange people.
For instance, as I gave free reign to my urge to write about not knowing what to write in this blog, I used the phrase, "by nature", three times (four, now) and don't know why consciously but trust that my feeling of its rightness for this post will reveal itself…
Another strange aspect of the creative writer's life is the nature of words themselves << that's a series of posts I did on how strange words can be.
So, let me recap and attempt to explicate a rationale for this post:
* I perused my list of possible blog topics and found it boring.
* I decided to write about not knowing what to write about.
* I used the phrase, "by nature", four times to emphasis the inevitability of a desire to wrangle words being, at times, nearly impossible to explain.
* I reached the recap-phase and realized I was creating a word-mirror—a post I could contemplate as an effort to remain connected with my readers while showing them the under-belly of the commitment to creating five blog posts a week during the ramp-up to writing a companion volume for my novel, Notes from An Alien.
Perhaps this off-the-cuff post, written with my faith in my Muse to the fore, will reveal to any potential bloggers that commitment to the regularity of blog-life can create a semi-meaningful product that self-referentially justifies its own existence…
