Writer's Block Brian's Journal, August 26, 1998 Recently I've been experiencing a bit of writer's block (as seen in my lack of journal entries). For some reason, I can't find the time to write or a topic to converse about. I'm beginning to think my brain is just taking a siesta. Maybe this is what happens when we fall into the ruts and schedules of everyday life. We become comfortable to the point where we stop seeing anything except the comfortable and familiar. Even life on the road has its patterns and similarities that draw us into complacency. I think most of the time we want to make a change. We want to get up, go out, but instead we sit in front of the television and wait for "inspiration." We go to work each day and go through the motions hoping for something different, but we're too comfortable in the doldrums to do anything about it. Meanwhile, the days pass. So for me, I guess this is my way of getting off the couch and creating my own inspiration rather than waiting for the TV to do it for me. At least if I take some action, something will happen. And who knows, maybe this writer's block will just go away. © Brian Ardinger, 1998 BACK TO TOP The Quest | Insights & Inspirations | Our Journey | Community | Home Have questions or comments?
