i've gotten too old for my dreams, outgrown them i guess. i can't bring myself to say i've given up entirely, but everyday i let pass without holding a pen to paper makes it harder to deny. call it writer's block, call it mental constipation, call it an amateur hiatus, just don't call it hopeless.
i never used to question my motivation for writing; on the surface there was none, i just did it because i could, like jaywalking or having a second piece of chocolate cake. i just felt like it.
where has that easy feeling gone? did i do something to offend the muses so badly they've left me for dead? have i just gotten lazy? but i've always been lazy! the act of writing never felt like work before, and the longer i stay away the harder it is to start. the page never looked so blank, mirroring my own empty stare; the pen never felt so impotent, so utterly useless.
so i've returned. it's been a long time since i posted anything, longer still since i've posted anything good. but i gotta give myself another chance, after all, it could be my last one. no one knows how much time we have, only that it's not enough. don't waste it.

nolazydaizy on May 17, 2007reading your page i feel like i know exactly what you're talking about. writing used to be, if not easy, simple. it doesn't quite seem that way anymore. maybe we could try again together? that might be nice.
