I’ve been struggling to come up with a ramble or rant for tonight. The truth is, despite plenty of things going on in the world, I can gin up enthusiasm for just about none of them… and in the case of the ones that are vaguely interesting, I find that I just don’t have that much to say. It’s not a comfortable place to be for someone whose best means of communication has always been putting words on the page. Still, I’ve decided not to force it.
Whatever motivation I can usually scrape together as 6 o’clock comes on just isn’t there this evening, so I’m going to go ahead and hit pause. Maybe just for tonight. Maybe for the rest of the week. Maybe… well, who knows.
I’ll be back when I have something to say and the motivation to say it.
And I’m here, stumbling on by, just to give you a little nudge to keep writing despite not having the motivation. Hopefully it spurs you on. See you soon!
You are writing for yourself, not for your audience after all, right? So take a deep breath, and take it easy. Sometimes “pause” is the new “play”! Keep it up!
