Typical Writer Stuff

Hey other bloggers and writers! Do you ever think of your blog with dread, complete and utter dread? Do you think about hitting the DELETE ALL button and wiping out your days, months and years of musings just to escape the terror of having to write another post? Do you wonder why the hell you ever started this godforsaken thing in the first place when thoughts of it cause you to grind down your molars and breathe funny?

Yeah, me too.

And yet I can't pack it in. I made a whopping $.003 from Google last month, and you just don't say no to that kind of bling. I'm also too proud to give up and too attached to the community. And once I start writing, it's actually kind of fun. I amuse myself immensely, I admit. If I could only perform stand-up to a room full of me, I'd kill.

Moreover, I've learned over the years that doing certain productive things, whether it's writing, cooking something new or buying new underwear, can be quite rewarding.

And yet I haven't managed to write in about a month. I've cooked absolutely no new recipes, and I have to walk a certain way today because the elastic in my underwear just snapped. My "good" underwear.

I'm hoping a week away will do me right. We're heading down to a beach house to spend a week with family. Either I'll be so relaxed I'll actually come back with the wherewithal to tackle baking bread, or I'll be so neurotic after a week with relatives I'll be funnier than ever. Either way, I'll certainly have something to write about so I win.

I hope.
