Writer's Block sucks. A couple of months back, when I started writing this blog, I promised myself that I would try to post something every week. Sometimes, the calendar helps, such as Passover and Spring and fun things like that. Other times, something happens in my life that I might want to write about. This however isn't one of those weeks.
I'm stuck. I can't think of a topic to write about. I'm at a loss for words (I know that many of you will find that hard to believe). This reminds me of my days in High School when I had to write a research paper for Social Studies or an essay for English Class. My teachers always said to research the topic, write an outline, take the outline and create a rough draft, then a final draft and only then should you start typing.
For those of you who were born after 1990, we didn't have computers in the Stone Age of the 1970s, we actually went to these places called "Libraries" to look things up in "Card Catalogs" and when we typed things up it was using something called a "Typewriter", but I digress.
Anyway, that was what our teachers told us to do, but I always skipped a few steps and went straight from research to typing. That worked great, except for the times it didn't. There's nothing like staring at a blank piece of paper at 11:00 pm the night before your assignment's due to get the adrenaline flowing. Adrenaline yes, creativity no. I got my assignments done, didn't always get the greatest grades, but I got them done.
And so, dear readers, this is how I feel about this week.
