Write on…

Or, “How the brain-dead blogging master managed to squeeze out yet another post!”

Well, I’ve been sitting here for ages staring at this thing and not a word would spring forth from my weary fingers and their equally tired and battered keypad. So rather than calling it a day and admitting defeat, I decided to try something out.

Not being one to give up easily, I started hitting the keys to see if I could generate something readable and maybe even entertaining. Well…

With absolutely nothing floating around in that chamber in my brain labeled “ideas” I’ve had to resort to trickery and skulduggery in order to create a flow of thoughts channeling through the old grey matter and literally bully my brain into engaging the gears of the writing machine!

Writing is a passion of mine and although most of the time I’m able to hammer out articles aplenty to satisfy the ravenous hunger of my ever growing menagerie of blogs, lenses and websites, there are days when sheer tiredness simply causes the creaking mechanics to grind to a halt. Today is one of those days.

But I don’t let it stop me from writing.

Quite the opposite in fact. You see, blankly staring at, well, a blank screen doesn’t get anything done and only wastes more time. If I were going to keep that up for any length of time, I might just as well go and have a siesta and come back to the computer feeling at least a little refreshed and ready to crack on. But at this time of night after a very long day, I don’t have that luxury - if I go to sleep now, I won’t wake up until tomorrow and the day’s post will be missed!

I can’t allow that to happen.

So even though there is really no solid topic to this post, it could be construed as an attempt to prove to even the most weary and disillusioned blogger that there is always another post in you even when you have hit a brick wall. Call it a minor primer in motivation. Or call it a lesson in the world of human limitations that any obstacle can be overcome with the right frame of mind. Or call it a mindless, meandering ramble through the intricate windings of this mortal life just to find something to write about…

Ah, that’s it, perhaps?

Yep, I’ve just completed what I set out to do. I tricked my torpor-filled consciousness into action by writing about not being able to write about anything!

Ha!

I just love blogging! Don’t you?
