"Writer's Block-Party" (from October 5, 2010)

Don't you just hate whenever you think you get a really good idea then as soon as your put your pen to paper (or in this case) your fingers on the keyboard, the idea just leaks out of your ear and then you're left with the dumbfounded "deer in the headlights" look? Yeah, it seems to be a regularity with me. So i decided to somehow write about it! (or would writing about having writer's block be an oxymoron? meh....not sure, get back to me with that)

Just as writer's block happens when you have a really good idea, but then it doesnt come out...i think the same thing also happens in life. (uh oh, application time) To me, when we think we have a good idea of what we want or want to do and then go about trying to accomplish it, we find ourselves stuck somehow. But why? Isn't what we want good, so why not have it happen? I dont think that's all coincidence. God has a way of reminding us that He's in charge and that "stupor" of thought is for our benefit, not to confuse us. Maybe who we thought we want to be with isn't really, but then someone else comes along that fits perfectly with what you want, even more than the last. Or we think that a particular career is great and all, but then thinking about it more you realize that it wasn't gonna make you happy, so another interest comes along and you roll with it, feeling it'd be better for you...and then it works! Crazified, huh?!

All of it means that something better is planned for you, whatever the heck it is. The trick is recognizing it. Correct if im wrong, but my bet is that all of us aren't quite there yet.

Huh....funny what you can learn while writing about writer's block.
