I am trying to get my brain to remember how to do this whole blogging thing. I used to find it much easier to open up this window and enter anecdotes, rants or ramblings. They might not have been award winning material but they were something.
Last night while I was procrastinating about NaNoWriMo I was chatting with Tweek mentioning that I couldn’t seem to start writing (both a blog or my novel). He advised me to just start typing, to try to do a little stream of consciousness writing to get myself started. This used to be the way my brain worked all the time. I would sit down and somehow a blog, poem, story or whatever would take shape. It never required a great deal of work.
However last night I just couldn’t find my stream of consciousness. I lost it somewhere, maybe I left it sitting alone in the dark for so long that it fell into oblivion or perhaps I just wasn’t trying hard enough (though isn’t the whole point to not have to try?). I know I’m going to keep looking though and hopefully soon I’ll fall into the same black hole and the words will just flow again.
