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.
