Well I don't know if this is the right term for it. Well I say so because I have looked up the phrase and and laughed at what it actually meant! Apparently it refers to the condition when a writer has run out of what to write. If this is the case, then this may not apply to me at all!
Firstly am not a writer! well unless of course blogging is considered writing. Well I for one don't think so. Why? Sorry to say and no disrespect intended to anyone. I apologize before hand. I have read hundreds of blogs (well quite a good number anyway). Some actually copy and paste news stories while passing them off as theirs! Disgraceful. Kudos to you if all your contents are original. Well done for pushing out fresh material daily for the entertainment of your readers! Applause. The common culprits of this infringement are the 'so-called' entertainment (news & lifestyle kind of news) bloggers. Those bloggers who specialize in dishing out 'celebrity hot gists and gossips'. Often I have read something from the UK Daily Mail newspaper via MailOnline and then go to a certain blog and find the same story word for word. Well in their defence, they sometimes add 'culled from UK Daily Mail'. Hmmm. So you be the judge. Are they writers? Probably not.
Anyway back to my original rant. Writers' block. What was I saying? Yeah right. Found the meaning online and realized it wasn't me at all. I don't have writer's block. I am just too busy to write on my own blog! Sadly, this is not something I can delegate to someone to do for me in that everything I pen down are my thoughts. Should I dictate to someone to type it out and then post? NO. Never. That would be unfair to my audience. Also,it would not reflect exactly what I intend to write as you may need to change or rephrase a line of thought. You do not have such luxury if you don't write it yourself fresh from your mind. Is this making sense at all? Well it doesn't matter. This is my blog and I can probably write whatever I choose as long as it is not offensive or derogatory, right? :)
So contrary to what I imagined, there is no block in writing or blogging for me. Its' just my lack of time management. I apologise. I have to fit this in the itinerary. For those who read my The Very Beginning post, this is why it took 5 years to kick off. No time to fit in and the question of how to start.
Its a week now of kicking this off. Here's to another week and another and another and another. Peace.
