These days, I haven't had the urge to blog. Blogging seems like a thing of the past. It's not quite as trendy as it used to be, nor as tempting a hideaway place. Add to that, a year of slacking away and not writing anything read-worthy; what used to be a well oiled writing machine, that could crank out a paper in a week, now has to stop every thirty seconds to think what to say next. Now that's sad.
So here I am again, back in blogosphere, hoping that some amount of blogging will inspire me to write again. I have an article deadline by the end of summer and I can't even get an angle on this article. I've written about 5 paragraphs, no thesis statement and that took about 2 and a half weeks to acomplish. I feel like I lack the research, but then again I've researched this topic for about 6 months and I have a five inch thick binder worth of articles about the topic.
I remember days when I would shut myself in the office and stay til 10pm to write. These days, the minute I see 5:00pm approaching on my computer clock, I start packing and I'm out the door sometimes even before 4:59pm. My brain just shuts down. And I can't wait to get out of the office. I can't tell if I lack the will, the brains to do this anymore. Hopefully it ain't the brains.

I haven't visited your hideaway for some time, but I believe the answer to the lack of will to write can be found in your March 22 entry. The realization that life just "is" can take away the need to convert thoughts and frustrations to electronic form.

Remember what it is like to "be 28"! I have lost touch with that part of myself. When I was that age, I blinked and awoke 5 years later, a changed man, barely wiser and slower of wit. Hope you enjoy the ride.
