Writer’s Block

Well, for the first time in a long time, I have nothing to say. It’s moved beyond the fact that I’m not thinking of anything even remotely interesting (assuming that what I normally think about is interesting). I’ve actually reached the point where when I lean my head back against the headboard and close my eyes to collect my thoughts, there is nothing there. In fact, I’ve almost fallen asleep twice. Probably should stop doing that!

Normally, I’d give it up, go to bed, and try again tomorrow. But … I’m thick in the midst of NaBloPoMo month so, it’s time for the proverbial 12th man (or brain cell, in this case) to step up and string a few words together.

I think I’ll risk closing my eyes one more time. Maybe if I write the thoughts off the top of my head, something interesting will pop out. Of course, something downright frightening could appear out of the current cobwebs as well! It’s always an adventure.

  • Nervousness is boarding a plane in a group where there are more kids than adults…
  • There are a whole bunch of things is this world we make harder than they really need to be…
  • I really like the silence of a snowfall…
  • There are ex-pro football players who should not have made a transition into broadcasting…
  • The lights in my house go on and off by themselves and sometimes it creeps me out…
  • Ever notice that when one member of a family is having a bad week, the whole family has a rough week? There’s something to learn and think about there…
  • The Verizon “move my meeting” commercial is REALLY funny to me…
  • I’ve got a thing for Sugarland

Well, as it turns out, brain cells really do only have so much juice and synapse firing is important for stringing together thought.

Dang.
