For the past...what, couple months? longer?... I've been having the hardest time birthing blogposts. I've started a zillion drafts, and I work on them just about every day. It's not writer's block, because I have plenty of ideas, and in the beginning, my fingers get a workout trying to keep up with what my brain is trying to write. But then I edit. And edit, and edit until there's nothing left but meaningless phrases. It's like I warp a loom and weave myself a scarf, and instead of finishing it off and wearing the damn thing, I turn my scissors loose and wind up with a pile of yarn. Which the cats play with.
I don't know how to fix that.
From the commute this morning, in stop-and-go traffic near the Knik River bridges, about halfway to work. High tide and hazy.
See that 18-wheeler in the background? About 10 seconds after I snapped this pic, he rear-ended the Focus in front of him. Ouch.

well its not writers block..should we call it a writers cramp?
Just post the rough drafts. Who cares if it's perfect. Blogs are not meant for immaculate writing. I usually write off the top of my head and then post. If you think about it then you want to fix it. And you always can edit after you have already posted. Patrick
