Something to Ponder

Every so often I'm hit with an overwhelming urge to write. An inchoate feeling wells up inside me and demands to substantiate itself through the power of words. When I sat down to write this vanity card, I was in the grip of just such a feeling. Thankfully, it has passed.

A lot of my blog posts have ended up in the garbage can because of this phenomenon. I think I have a good idea for a post, but as soon as I sit down to write it out, the idea disintegrates and I'm left staring at an empty screen. I'm not sure if this is a failure of the idea, or a failure of me as a writer to capture that idea. For the most part, probably the latter. Either way, the end result is a lot of sports posts and quotes from other people.

It's probably your ideas. Like your jokes, they just aren't good.
