The will to blog

"I should write something."

I like writing. I like it like a plant likes water. What a lame metaphor. Jesus, Tim, get it together.

Sometimes I have the urge to write a blog post, or a short story, or something, but for some reason all my ideas get rejected and I just browse reddit instead. Look at Tim, he's a degenerate; uses reddit and complains about writer's block.

I don't think it's writer's block. Writer's block, as I understand it, is not being able to come up with ideas. I have so many ideas that I'm surprised they don't ooze out my ears and onto the floor, squirming away in fear of the broken and depraved father who spawned them, never again to feel the cold warmth of the ear canal they grew up in.

And I write a lot. More than you really see right now. I have like 3 or 4 giant writing projects going on, and I estimate that I put anywhere from 2000-8000 words down every day one way or another. These projects will take years to come to fruition, if they come at all, and in the meanwhile I have the desire to write short stories and blog post and everything in between.

On top of all that, I work on other hobbies (like my album art), and go to a full time job where I sit there and wish I could write something.

So I keep finding excuses to not write small inconsequential things like blog post or short stories. I like writing some of the writing prompts that I've done recently, but the last one I did was like two weeks ago.

I want to write something, but I have so much I'm writing that I don't write anything.

So I'm going to try and see if I can find a nice balance between "serious" projects that take years to come, and short little ditties that take an hour to shit out. I like making both of them, but almost by definition the former is more involved and time consuming.

Just let loose. This is my website, after all; I can put whatever the hell I want here. I can even say, "Piggle," and nobody will care.

That's it. That's the whole thought. No grand schemes about how to keep this site operational for the coming generation, no manifestos about why full time employment is the worst, nothing. I guess this is what blogging is, isn't it? Just someone talking about their thoughts.
