Blogs R Us

So much for that idea, the actual work that would be needed to make the site I was talking about is simply out of my grasp. I did get to have some fun photoshoping some new layouts for the idea, though. I plan on starting up a new blog instead. Yes, I know, I'm very original. Moving on...

The idea seemed to come to me when I realized that I've been stuck writing about the same thing for what is now more than two years with absolutely nothing to show for it. That kind of lingering stagnation isn't good for keeping the mind active and productive. So after reading so many other great blogs like GeeksofDoom.com (check em' out), I realized the potential to be had in simply talking about all of the things I deem relevant.

Right now the only thing holding me back is a lack of motivation for writing reviews -- or anything for that matter. I can start them, I can think up entire paragraphs and fine tune them in my head while I'm in the shower or walking around the neighborhood getting some exercise; It's only when I find myself sitting in front of a computer screen with an open word file that everything vanishes and I'm left with a blank slate. I can't explain it other than the say that it's quite possibly the most annoying thing in the entire world.

It's not writers fatigue, it's not writers block, it's not even a lack of motivation, I simply can't get anything done. And I write that with a stack of DVDs that I need to get finished some time this week staring me in the face... mocking me. I think the best way to get this all squared away is to get back to the basics. Write less, fine tune, get in to a rhythm, overlook perfection and simply aim to get things done. They may not be the best that they can be (FYI, I hate putting out something I consider subpar of unfinished), but at the very least I'll be getting something done and move past this phase.
