writer's block.

i have had writer's block for what seems to have been a considerable amount of time now. i know what i've wanted to write, i know what i've been researching and what i want to research... and i know that i should keep doing it. however. sit me down in front of my laptop and my mind turns to jelly. every single thought and idea i had about five minutes before literally disappears in a puff of smoke. there have been times that i've been sat there with my cup of tea and literally stared at my blog editing screen for what seems like forever.

i've tried to figure out what it is and i think i've hit on several things. 1) stressing about other annoying life matters, 2) my nomadism, 3) having too much clutter and 4) lack of inspiration.

and my problem with these has been that i have let them become problems. now, i've decided to head at things straight on and just get on and deal. oh yes, oh yay.

i also feel that sometimes a blank screen on a laptop can be rather daunting. so i'm thinking that i could do with some blank pages of sketchbook. i have desire for something more visual at the moment and i think that the visual could kickstart my enthusiasm and motivation for the wordy.

i'm going back to the drawing board.
