the Blogger who can’t write (?)

i can’t write.

i have been trying to write this entry about silence for two days now but i don’t know how to give it a worthy intro. i don’t call this a writer’s block. i don’t believe that writers reach the point of having nothing to write at all and of having no inspiration to write. okay, so what’s my problem here?

my problem is that i’m over thinking things to be able to come up with a good entry worth reading. i’m over thinking that i cannot start it properly. we do have this kind of downtime sometimes, right?

yes, writers, even the best one at that, do experience this kind of downtime. i wish i know how to troubleshoot this kind of problem as easy as fixing a technical problem. hey tech probs are objective! i bet William Shakespeare had his moment of, what should i call it? hmm, writing downtime. where it is just hard to write down all your ideas because you have a lot of them. they’re so many that you do not know how to organize them in level of importance.

and maybe, the moment where writers shout Eureka!!! is just around the corner. perhaps later, or this afternoon. or perhaps while making a cup of coffee, a good idea of how to start an article/entry will just dawn on me. and when it happens, i’ll hurry to my computer and start ticking the keys. :)
