I got chastised over the weekend by my mother in law for not keeping up with this blog. I know I have been bad. Not to make excuses or anything but I have tried...nothing has been coming out of me lately. Everything I write seems to be blah. Classic writers block. All the greats get it right? The worst was when I would get this in college and a paper was due the next morning. I was a pacer and a huge procrastinator but somehow I always got it in on time. I guess having a deadline made the difference. Here, who is watching me but my lovely mother in law? If I got paid for doing this, well that would be a different story now wouldn't it? If I was a paid writer, writers block wouldn't exist in my vocabulary. But seriously, I need to pick up the pace here and instead of spending all of my time on social media hypocritically chastising George R. R. Martin for taking so long to finish his series, "The Song of Ice and Fire" I should just complain about it here. Seriously ...
The fabulously eccentric non conformist, poet Allen Ginsberg said, "“To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.” This blog is not to gain followers or to show off my writing skills, but instead to express my thoughts and feelings about the world through words. I believe words have the power to change and move people and through writing them, change oneself. This is what I am doing in this blog...changing myself one word at a time.
