It happens again and again.
I have a real good idea for a blog post, I already here the words resounding in my skull, I sit down to write this thing in a fit of perfect euphoria and…
Nothing happens.
The words and sentences were floating infront of my inner eye just a moment ago; they’re gone now. And trying to still grab them is futile.
No Success.
It’s annoying, because I like blogging. Writing means I find out what I think about a topic, or what I am doing about it. And this lack of words isn’t caused by a lack of ideas; I knew what I wanted to write about and I even had the first ideas how to express it.
Those fleeing words remind me at my fear of the empty Canvas: So much potential and I really do not want to screw it up. But not doing anything is screwing-it-up, too, and so failure is the only option.
Maybe I’ll be able to present a proper post next Friday and you know what? I’ll just count this one as a post regarding [p2p type="id" value="107" text="the List of Doom"] – I did push that annoying “Publish” button afterall.
And sometimes writing about not-being-able to write is a valid topic too.

I have a problem with fleeing words as well. I always have. It’s just not in the realm of writing. It’s regular everyday conversations and the like. I have something I want to tell someone and have been thinking about it for a while and then once I get with them. Poof. Whatever it was is now gone from my mind. It’s very frustrating.
My theory is that my subconscious hates me.
I’m not sure if it’s my subconsciousness that hates you or me, but I’m pretty sure that we’re just doing something wrong. If my muse shies away from me like that, I have a disconnect between my thoughts and writing/speaking.
Which in itself isn’t bad – that disconnect’s what prevents you from calling your boss a frigging loser, for example – but it also means you and me will lose many other not-dangerous thoughts and actions.
Why? I don’t know.
It’s probably rooted in selfdoubt and similiar things, I don’t know. I’ll keep prodding this topic in future blogposts, though.
But what I DO know is, when I keep on writing and talking, things will eventualöy become smoother.
