No Focus and No Creativity


My blog postings have gotten really generic and boring. It is almost as if the part of my brain that controls my ability to write witty and inspired paragraphs has taken a vacation (perhaps it's trying to get the rest of me to come along for the ride).

It doesn't help matters that my girlfriend teaches writing/composition at a local college. I never know when my writing might fall under her strict scrutiny. Not that she would ever "grade" my posts, but I still feel compelled to impress her with everything I do.

I suppose that is just the nature of the male. Much like apes in the jungle pounding their chests or a peacock spreading it's ass-feathers (I don't know the technical term), all we men want is a little recognition from the women who love us. Jaclyn does a very good job at continually making me feel needed and important. Bless her heart.

Should I just continue to rattle on and on about the excruciating minutia of every day life, or should I only post when I have something interesting to say? Lately it's been the latter because I have been unable to even relate those daily observations in an entertaining manner.

Sigh. The tortured soul of the creative.

As you were.

That is hilarious! Too funny and probably dead-on true too! (Did I just write a haiku? Nah.)

I too feel your anxiety about writing. How do you think I feel about writing being a composition instructor and all! Luckily, I have managed to scrap by unscathed by the grammar junkies!

You are good writer. If you are not doing what you want to do that's because you have been so extremely busy as of late. I am amazed that you have been able to keep up with your blog.

I ask, however, that you don't underestimate those little idiosyncratic posts of yours. I love 'em; they're great, for they really showcase your personality. One of your early posts about coffee breath comes to mind here. :-)
