You were probably just tired. When I'm tired I have a hard time thinking of things to write about, or talk about..... so I take a nap if I'm tired, maybe take in a movie or go for a walk if I'm NOT tired. Or maybe call up an old friend or a relative I haven't spoken to for a while. Chances are they'll say something that will spark a creative thought that leads to writing! *<em>*<em>Jeremy´s last blog post..<a href="http://jeremyherndon.com/2008/10/12/parthenogenesis/">Parthenogenesis</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Well, for having writer’s block, you sure wrote a lot!

The haze seems to be lifting slowly. It sort of freaks me out because I've never remotely had a problem like this. This little "post about nothing" did help, but it took an inordinate amount of time to write. That's better than not being able to write at all. Yesterday's post was a little better. I don't think my brain is broken. As many have suggested, it may just be all the... "stuff" that's going on in the world right now. Difficult to get one's arms around all that.

I try to keep my posts as positive as I can, because people are getting enough bad news on the TV. Given the stock market and the politial fiasco, it really is hard to focus on spinning positives about the real estate market. I couldn't help but think about Seinfeld as I was reading your post - a post about "nothing". Just look at how many comments you've received. ;-) *<em>Elaine Reeses last blog post..<a href="http://reesespiecesofrealestate.com/2008/10/09/lovely-3br-home-for-sale-in-stratford-woods/">Lovely 3BR home for sale in Stratford Woods</a></em></abbr> Well, it’s comforting to hear someone else has problems with the writing.

Every 30 seconds or so he would stop, and bang his head in utter frustration, saying "Oh no, writer's bloc, no! no! no!". Then he would immediately resume typing at a frantic pace! Maybe a little more caffiene & swearing, and a walk around the block? Jay -
