How in the world can so many people just sit down, start writing, and end the day with some ten thousand words, while I can't even make a single blog post of one thousand characters?
One friend has already had two books published (with another on the way), and another friend has about four different drafts in the works. I know what genre I want to write in, who my characters are, what should happen, how it should happen, and yet I can't complete a single page.
There are writing contests that people attend on a weekly basis and they manage to write several thousand words in a single hour. How come this just seems to come so naturally to some and not to others?
I'm told I'm intelligent, and a good writer for that matter, but yet, when it comes time to sit and write or type in most cases, nothing, nada, zip, zero, comes to mind.
Even just rambling like this doesn't seem to be coming easily. Oh well, I guess I'll go work on some Squidoo lenses, at least there I feel like I've accomplished something.

Failed Again
Wow, I can't even manage to log in to post a stinking Youtube video for music video of the week; how sad.
On the plus side I have managed to create a couple of new lenses over at squidoo.com and would love it if you went and checked them out.
I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again, I will make a better attempt at updating more often. I really have an urge to write in my free time, which I have lots of, but I struggle with getting the words down, which leads to frustration followed by just giving it up and saying that I'll come back to it later.
Usually that just happens to be much later. Like almost a month in this case. Though this is better than the two or three months that I have been doing. See there is a positive note to all this.
For those keeping track, The Galaxy Junkyard is also not being updated like I had hoped and is still not been converted to video. Sorry. This one is more disappointing to me than you may think.
Well that's it for the time being, I know its not the greatest post, and that there are no images but at least it's something.

Wow! Really??
Geez I suck at keeping this updated. Sadly I'm not keeping up The Galaxy Junkyard as much as I'd like to either. Although I have updated a little more there than here.
So what's new in life you ask, well...not much really. I say I'll do this and that, but in the end I just sit around listening to music never getting up off the couch to do any of it. I'm consistently online, but never writing on either blog or working on my Squidoo Lenes.
I still have my goal of converting over to vlogs, which for some reason I feel will be much easier than the whole writing thing. I always know what I want to write, yet when I sit down to start the words just don't seem to come.
So here it is again, I promise to update this more often, even if it's just to ramble on some stupid topic or idea. Oh and I'm going to bring back the music video of the week feature.

An Update To The Update
Wow time flies when you're having fun. Okay, not really. Cannot believe that it was February when I last posted here, and after reading that post am sad to say that I have failed on all aspects at that time.
The Galaxy Junkyard is still not really operating as I had once hoped, although I have actually made a few more posts there than here. My goal was to be running video blogs by now, on both sites, but just hasn't come to see light.
Squidoo has also become another member of the unfinished club. I have created 12 lenses, and a few even get a hit every once in awhile. I created one lens about Bender from Futurama that is getting big hits every so often, but I haven't quite figured out which tag it may be that is bringing in all the traffic.
I can honestly say it's not my personal life that has gotten in the way of moving forward on these projects. For the simple fact that I don't have one. Things just seem to sound a whole lot better in my head, and I can't seem to get the words into print, hence why I really wanted to convert these to video.
But I'm not completely out of the game. I am currently having a brainstorming session so I can get The Galaxy Junkyard running full time, some new Squidoo lenses, and will probably keep updates of my progress here. Plus I can vent over anything and everything I want here.

Update
Obviously this particular blog is not part of my main focus. However, hopefully in the next few weeks, with my other blog The Galaxy Junkyard seeing sufficient progress, I can take the time to put an effort back here.
Although this probably won't happen for the fact that I have also begun work on squidoo.com and have only a few lens created, including an About Me Lens.
Have A Great Day
(It's raining here and everyone is miserable; I enjoy this)
