Writer's Block

At least 3 posts sit unfinished. Countless other ideas have been left by the wayside as I didn't have anything to write them down on or it was so late at night I was only worried about sleeping. I've had a year-long case of insomnia it seems, or at least a heckuva lot of difficulty adjusting to being back at work after 12 days off.

(I know we're only 13 days into the year. Go with me on this one...)

So, what's holding me back?

Honestly, it seems like a lot of what I want to write about I've written about before. That whole circular thing I need to work on.

But!

I've been reading through some of the old posts and I've got an idea. (You saw the lightbulb right?)

There's more than one post where I've talked about "another post for another day," more than one post where questions were asked in the comments, more than one post that's making me think - "Okay, How can I make this different?"

How can I affect change?

How do you affect change?

I feel like I have all this energy, all these thoughts pent up inside and I've got to find a way to get them out.

So that's where I'm going. It might be pretty random. There might be a theme. I really don't know. I'm going to answer those questions. I'm going to write those posts for another day. I'm going to try to make things different.

As you all are my witnesses... I've put it right here in print.

Thoughts and Stories from a Cluttered Mind indeed.

Don't feel bad about the unfinished posts. I think my unfinished posts are in the double digits. I'll start one and then get an idea for another one and work on the second idea instead (or a completely different post altogether). Maybe I have a cluttered mind too. :-)

Thanks Dr. Lori.

I've also been holding back a bit, which is part of the post I'm working on now.

You're the second person that has recently referenced my tag line to me. That's kinda nice. Thank you for that too.
