Ruh Roh. Writer’s block. Don’t know what to write about. Remember how I just said in a previous post that I wasn’t planning out themes for writing because that felt like too much work…and because I wanted to write about what was on my mind, when I sat down to write?
Problem is, I’m not always feeling much of anything except exhaustion lately. And how exciting is that to write about? Not very. I know.
I could write about the fact that I’m so tired, I made PB&J sammys for the family for dinner. Or, I could write about not working out, because I’m so tired. Or, I could write about…hmmm…yeah. None of that is very exciting. Is it? That’s what I get for not planning my posts in advance.
They say…who the heck is ‘they’ anyway? Do you ever wonder that? Anyhoo…they say that even when you aren’t feeling creative and are stuck in writer’s block, that you just need to write anyway. Just sit down. And write. About whatever. And that eventually, your stream of consciousness will pick a theme on its own. And suddenly you will be writing, as you intended, when you sat down to do it.
So here it goes. I’m going to write, whatever words come to my mind and hope a steady stream of consciousness will appear on its own.
Ready?
Cotton Candy. Birthday. Popcorn. I’m thirsty. I’m sitting with really bad posture right now. My contacts are drying my eye balls out. I should go take them out. But that’s upstairs. And I’m too tired. I’m hungry. I didn’t work out. I wish I could sleep in tomorrow. I want fresh chocolate chip cookies. Right now. I’m tired. Joe Manganiello is hot. He should jump out of a cake for my birthday. That would never happen. I have so much to do. I want to go to bed. I’m stressed. I’ll be fine. I need my haircut. I’m tired. This sucks.
Hmmm….the only theme that really seems consistent here is the ‘I’m tired’ one.
Here’s the deal. I never promised myself (or you) that every post would be entertaining. I only promised I would write. Every day. For 40 days. And so far, I’m doing it.
So that’s something anyway, right?
