Writer’s Block


Writer’s Block

1 Sep 2006 ·

Blog




Yup, I was recently hit by writer’s block. Usually, when I don’t have new posts, it’s because of a busy schedule, no Internet connection or problems with my hosting, etc. But this time, it was just simply because I didn’t have anything to talk or write about. I guess this happens to all bloggers or writers once in a while, right? Earlier, like two or three days ago, I’ve been planning to make a new post. But I just couldn’t find or think of anything. It was like my mind was blogging blank. Hehe. Dunno if there’s a term like that.

Aside from checking my mails and logging to my Friendster & Myspace accounts, I’ve been busy playing Wolfenstein – Enemy Territory. An online, multiplayer, first person shooter pc game, which is a sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. This game is FREE. It was intended to be a commercial expansion pack but due to some problems, the company decided to release it as a free standalone game. You can download the game here.

One thing I love to buy aside from gadgets or electronics are shoes. I bought new kicks the other day. Wasn’t really planning on buying but we were in the mall and my wife asked me if I wanted to buy something. At first, I said I didn’t want to buy anything. But later on, I finally decided to buy a new pair of shoes.

New Kicks

Baby update: Baby Matthew is now 23 weeks-old. He’s quite a kicker. Also, my wife got two books about pregnancy.

    @eric – siguro if it's for photographers, you can call it "shooter's block" since you shoot photos. i also experience this sometimes, i bring my camera with me, have the chance to take a photo but too lazy to take it out. hehe. thanks for adding me up.

    @rose – ayan, nakapagpost na ako ng bagong entry, kahit na joke lang. wala talage eh. ingat din and God bless you and your family.

    @major tom – you can check out some of the tips that the others have posted in their comments. maybe it can help you out in the near future.

    I also have this kind of thing every now and then and when it comes, I just could not do anything about it. I wonder if this thing called "wroter's block" is one of a malady; maybe doctors have some drug to cure it, or something…

    @jim – you, writer's block? i don't think so. you're just too busy and preoccupied with other things. i luv white kicks. hehe. thanks, my wife is relieved and relaxed after she got the result. God is really good.

    @rose – hello! sorry, wala pang bagong post pag daan mo. eto, nag-iisip na ako kung anong pwedeng topic.

    @ade – ei, long time no see. soon-to-be father. hehe. thanks man!

    @trench – yeah, i like the classic too. since you mentioned it, the next time i buy kicks, it's gonna be the classic and or the AirForce Ones! hehe :D

    the baby's doin well so far. he moves and kicks a lot. my wife said, everytime the baby moves the feeling in her stomach is like when she's riding the rollercoaster.

    Those shoes are nice. I only wear the classics though. I have white ones, black ones, and brown ones. I've gone thru at least 10 pairs of white K-swiss just the last couple years. The only other shoes I sport are Classic NB's and AirForce Ones! CRISPY WHITE PURRS!@! hahaa. Hows the baby coming along?

    @jam – yeah, i guess it's normal for writers and bloggers.

    @kolletzki – actually, that's a good advice. coz if it's something na naisip nya, he can use his imagination or inspiration to write about it.

    @tommmy – i don't have a specific preference for white shoes, but white kasi is a neutral color so kahit anong damit pwede mo ibagay. oo nga, ang sapatos pag sa Pinas mo ginamit madaling dumumi. dito hindi. hehe

    @bigmac – sure. i've added you to my blogroll.

    @rose – ako, hindi madalas bumili? oo pag walang pera. pero kapag meron, naku..ubos agad kasi madami akong nakikita. hehe. yup, there are some things that are too personal to blog about.

    @trench – thanks for the tip.

    @jhay – that's what i also do but the thing is, i seldom get good or funny emails. hehe. thanks!

    @ash – oo nga pero pag several days kang walang bagong entry, minsan hindi na bumabalik ang ibang visitors mo. thanks! yeah, alagang-alaga nga eh. hehe

    @gbert – thank you. God bless you too.

    We all experience writer's block. We just differ in how we get around it. My trick is that I post the funny e-mails forwarded to me by my friends. ;)

    While that is taken care of, I just walk away from the pc and go out. Meet my friends, watch TV anything else not related to blogging on being online. I t really helps in refreshing one's mind.

    Best wishes on the pregnancy. :D

    pareho tayo gustong gusto ko puting sapatos, malinis kasing tignan, pero di ako maingat sa sapatos, isang linggo lang parang 1 yr old kaagad. o baka marumi lang talaga ang daan sa pinas.

    ako naman kahit may alam i post di ko alam kung paano sasabihin, writer's block din ba yun?

    natural lang yan, may mga kaibigan akong blogger laging nagtatanong kung ano ang magandang i-post, suggestion ko sa kanya yung kahit anong papasok sa isip nya, hehehe. mukhang mahirap yung suggestion ko :)

    I guess we all experience writer's block. Not at all times we can think of something good to post. It has happened to me several times when I was still active on Xanga.
