Writer’s Block Sucks

Sure does.
My new year’s resolution to blog more frequently (at least every other day) has been a complete and utter failure. Between battling computer problems (which are now fixed, thank God), trying to rearrange an unrearrangable office space (such is the life of a pack rat with a small house), concentrating on certain side jobs, and battling one hell of an illness for the past two weeks, I just haven’t felt like writing anything.
I started getting sick on Friday, January 23rd (there’s that damned number again) and went in to the doctor the following Monday and walked out with a prescription for some heavy duty meds. I took the last of my pills tonight and am just feeling the end of it. I think I might call tomorrow and ask about some more refills because I have a feeling that if I stop taking them now it’s just going to come right back again like my illnesses always do. I managed to write my last entry, the one about how to fix the screen flicker if you’re using an external monitor on a laptop, in a drug induced stupor. I’m surprised I pulled it off so well.
Speaking of “that damned number”, I finally got to see The Number 23 the other night on one of the movie channels we’re getting for free right now. I’m glad I did, but at the same time I wish I hadn’t. My already unhealthy obsession with the “23 enigma” just became a little more unhealthy.
When these meds clear out and this brain fog goes away, even though I’ll miss it, I should be able to get back to writing more.

    For me, I sometimes feel like I have absolutely nothing to say. Other days I probably have 5 different posts in my head at once. Can’t force the creative juices to flow I ‘spose. Here’s to your inevitable unblocking :)

    it's just never any good to watch a conspiracy theory movie on meds. They tend to make anything believable.
