I can't write
That's the problem with me nowadays. Even if the things I
need to write are just lying before me, waiting to be touched, I simply
can't write. I've tried writing at home, at the office; I've tried
walking around, going to the malls, running at the park, but still,
when I get home and sit before my desk, I simply can't write. I keep
staring at the computer screen, wondering what's wrong. It seems that a
part of me is on strike, or is trying to make me feel I would be totally
helpless if I keep ignoring its demands. Its demands are my secret
pleasure: Annie Proulx, Marguerite Duras, even Paul Theroux; and other
delightful authors I've not been reading nowadays. I've been so busy
trying to learn to shoot and do the Adobe Premiere that I haven't been
reading a really good book lately; all I read are photography books and
software instructions so that part of me that is fueling my writing is
now getting back at me. I need to locate my pleasure first before I can
go back to write.
