Hey blogville, decided to clear all the cobwebs around here today. Cobweb clearing is serious business. I have been in hibernation for too long and I’m not even gonna blame work this time. Been a while I put me out here and I had to do something before the bug that bit Carlang and Miz Cynic bites too deep. I’ve been battling the voices in my head for a while now. Seems they are getting impatient about my lazy attitude towards writing.
All I seem to hear (in my head, in a stern voice) is “Toinlicious, you need to write”.
And when I go “but I’m content to just follow and read other people’s blogs and I don’t know what to write or where to start”
I hear “how about you finish up all those half stories on your lappy en, or write about how your family could easily be a better Keeping Up With The Kardashians cos you got more drama in your house, or about your mom’s weirdness and acting hip by watching TV shows like 24/Greys Anatomy/Desperate Housewives and calling Dare Art Alade cute huh, that happened last night”.
“Or about that lady, that you are sure needs to get laid paid cos she’s always blowing hot and cold or about that creepy story you read that really reminds you of NIL’s Super Heroes or Super Zeros post, or your current BFF (Mo) who is the prettiest thing and who you think is the bravest person even if she doesn’t realize it yet or about the guy that BFF wana hook you up with who is creepy(no thankyouverymuch), or about your experiences about how the heart of man can be desperately wicked or about the guy that’s asking you out, who already is sooo cute you wana cry but has mommy issues or about another one who has weird family history (trust me, the voice in my head is putting it mildly, that family is beyond weird).
Anyway, the point is, I need to start writing again. I used to talk a lat. No, you don’t get it, az in, I taaaaalk alat (even I know that and my sister thinks I should get my lips sown together) but I hardly talk anymore so those things just generally stay in my head with no escape route. Blogging was supposed to be a way for me to let it all out without bugging anybody. I have so much to say but not quite gotten round to saying them out loud and I know it’s gonna get crazy soon cos these voices are getting desperate.
I guess I’m just lazy. I need some kind of ass-whooping (no pun intended) to get going. I procrastinated about starting this blog for almost a year…not a good thing I know. I’m here now though so baby steps here I come.
Mwuah
blessings......
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by and contributing to my gratitude journal. Please stop by as often as you link and share your gratitude so that it may inspire those who read it including myself.
Sometimes in life we exprience waves, waves of "I doh wanna," "I doh feel like it," "Maybe tomorrow that stretches into more tomorrows," the best way to triumph over those moments is to take each moment by moment, if you love writing and experiencing block, start by doing short pieces, even something as expressing the moment feeling like, "I don't feel like writing however I have convinced myself right here write now to write this much, thank you." Once you begin to do this the rut you are in begin to transform and clarity settles in. The idea is to not let the "lazy" moments eclipse all of your for any great lenghts of time.
Peace and stay blessed.
