My Plight

Writer's Block:

A condition that every writer experiences.  From the most inspired artist, capable of painting vivid and exciting pictures with their words, to the most amateur. The writer of the most mundane and stodgy works. Everyone, at one point or another, experiences the dreadful writer's block.

Unfortunately, over the course of several years, I have become that drab and lackluster writer, unable to conjure up any sort of interesting  tale to spin in my spare time.  I used to be creative.  I used to be that inspired writer, who never needed a jump-start.  I had ideas that flowed from my skull like a river bursting through a dam, liberated from the one thing that has held it back for a hundred years.

These days, however, that same river has dried up, and has left nothing behind but an arid wasteland, it's inhabitants praying for rain.  That's where this blog comes in.

I have decided that I have come into this creative drought, because I have refused to put my thoughts onto paper for so many years now.  I plan to use this space as a creative outlet.  Hopefully I will become my own muse through this experience, and can once again become a prolific and resourceful writer.

My end goal for this little project of mine is to break through this writer's block,  and be able to sit down and write the novel I've always dreamed of writing.

I'm not here trying to win the sympathy of anyone, nor am I concerned with getting readers.  If you happen to stumble upon this blog, I hope you can find some enjoyment in my struggle and maybe even offer me a little insight.

Let me be the first to thank you in advance.  To all of my critics, I have but one thing to say. "Let's get started!"
