Lately I've been learning that there are many reasons writers tend to suffer from this ailment. A common one I'm finding is an overload of ideas and simply not having or knowing enough outlets for them. However I don't think that's my reason at the current moment. Here's why: even while using all of my newly acquired habits for getting those ideas out of my filled-up head I seem to have small dose of writer's block these days. I cannot believe that all my ideas are that great. But even the 'not so good ones' are getting wrote away for later rainy dates when they might seem better to me than they did the day I thought them.
This dose of writer's block is not awfully paralyzing. It's not the worst case I've ever had. It's not keeping pen from paper completely (though it has kept the blog quite quiet this week...). It's just slowed production a bit. It has thoughts and ideas mucked up more than clear but I'm decently confident to say that this go around it is not from too many ideas in my head. This time I think it is due more to being stuck in a place I never expected.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
