Hello.

I need to write something here.

I haven’t written anything in ages.

Well, just over a month, it seems.

But still…

This always happens this time of year: a lack of enthusiasm.

After Christmas, my blogging mojo seems to disappear for a while.

That’s why I keep doing the February blog-a-thon thing: as terrifying as it is, it gets me back into the habit of writing things down… putting pen to paper / fingers to keyboard.

And it really is just a lack of the aforementioned enthusiasm.  Stuff continues to happen and often I’ll think “That’ll be a good piece for the blog”, but I just can’t be bothered to sit down and write it up.

Of course, what I should be doing is noting these occasionally interesting snippets down on a piece of paper. At least then I could use them in February.

But, I don’t note them down. Because I can’t even be bothered to do that.

Even writing this post, is hard. I have just spent the last five minutes with my hands on my head, staring at the screen and wondering what the next line should be.

And, on top of everything (just figured out the next line. This line)… and on top of everything, when I haven’t written in a while, I know about it.

I know about it in my head.

It hangs over me like some form of guilt… like a monkey on my back.

If only that monkey had a typewriter.

And when it gets like that, the only relief is to write some rubbish and press that PUBLISH button.

Ooh, that feels so good.
