So, it appears that I have fallen under a dismal spell of writer's block. I have so many ideas, and yet when I sit down to unload all that I have to say on paper...it doesn't seem to transpire. I've questioned this spell of writer's block and even went so far as to question what triggered it's onset. To no surprise of my own, I came to the conclusion that "I don't have a foundation!"
With that conclusion, I have decided that I will be away for some time as I reformulate my blogging purpose. Of course, when I say I will be away for some time I don't expect to be gone for long at all...perhaps a week, maybe two? However, I would like to say that I have been in the process of fine tuning my creativity by indulging in reading and now writing short stories. It's kind of funny, but I'm actually in the process of flipping through"The Writer's Book of Matches," which is actually proving to be a very witty and comical flip book that aids in igniting my currently dim creative light bulb.
In the meantime, I leave you all with something interesting that I came across that has really been resonating in my spirit:
"The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech." -Edwin H. Friedman

That was truly beautiful.....I think im falling in love with your words...and i dont know if that is against some biblical doctrine found in Leviticus.....but to tell you the truth, if me falling for words is wrong I don’t want to be right.....You know compliments are always awkward for me and I don’t mean to shower you with them today but I admire this whole blog thing you have going here, I have been trying to get mines up and going but I have too problems 1. I’m just not that consistent and 2. I don’t write a lot of my poems or thoughts down because (I don’t know if you have ever felt this way) I just feel restricted in a way idk its weird……But yeah your joints are a breath of fresh air. Im not going to read anymore today because I think trying to read too much at once will take away some of the potency of your writing but best believe I am going to read some more in the in the near future Peace and Love… DCMahon
