I think a lot.
I don’t know if that’s a good thing sometimes; in fact sometimes I KNOW it to be a good thing, other times I KNOW it to be a bad thing.
What I’ve not been doing a lot of recently, however, is writing.
It’s not because I have nothing to say: I do.
It’s not because I don’t want to write: I do.
It’s also not because I can’t be bothered: I can.
I can’t really pretend it’s because I don’t have time: I kind of do.
I just lost my ability to wax lyrical on things for a while. Let’s call it writers block. It wasn’t, but let’s call it that.
If it wasn’t, why give it a name it isn’t? Well, primarily, I WAS a bit embarrassed about it. Note the “was”.
What I’ve learned over the past month or two, though, is I’m not any more. Sometimes less is more. If you read what I write much, then you’ll know I usually advocate that ALWAYS less is more.
And sometimes, I need to just sit back and think and then contribute when I have something I really want to say.
I needed to say this. I’ll be quiet again now.
