writer's block

sometimes i just don't feel like writing. depending on my mood, this sentiment may hang around for hours or days or even weeks. my current bout of writer's block has been nagging me for two or three days now. as for the cause, your guess is as good as mine. let's see. i haven't been particularly busy with marking of late. i haven't returned home suffering from a significant headache of late. and i certainly haven't been lacking in relevant subject matter of late either. quite the contrary, in fact, as there are indeed oodles and oodles of topical themes i could expound upon these days. truth be told, my head is absolutely bursting with juicy topics for this forum at the moment. but when it comes right down to sitting down and putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), i just don't seem to have the patience to follow through from start to finish of late. that said, i'm not particularly worried about this dearth of creative energy on my part. after all, i have been down this listless road many times before. and in the end, i always seem to locate my inner voice before long. but at the same time, this literary game of hit and miss can be a little disconcerting at times. i mean, i would like to think that whenever called upon, i could sit myself in front of a computer and bang out at least a few words that are worthy of my byline. besides, how can this blog act as a cathartic release of my innermost hopes, dreams and aspirations when i can't even bring myself to pull together a few coherent sentences every 24 hours or so? it's like i once said: dancers dance. singers sing. bloggers blog. that's just the way it is. oh well, i just hope i can find the intellectual and fortitudinous wherewithal to compose a decent entry by the time the sun sets on yet another day.
