Writer's Block

I have Writer's Block, and I can't keep moving on my speech outline on Writer's Block. Ironic I know.

Actually that's why I picked the topic. I couldn't come up with a good topic for my speech, so I chose writer's block, because that was primarily what I was facing. Actually, the topic is a bit more facinating than you'd think. Really!

I know it is a common problem, but its not an easily dismissable one. We all have to write things for school or work, and sometimes it rears its ugly head at the most inopportune time.

One of the main tricks I learned in my study of the topic was to simply keep writing. Often Writer's Block is caused by people over Criticizing their work. The trick is to realize that your first dract will be just that, a first draft. It will suck. Get over it and lay down the foundation on which to build. You can edit and analyze later. But for now, GET IT DOWN.

I am taking a similar approach to my blogging. I figure the only way to get better at blogging is to do it. The last few posts have been personal, but I will also begin to practice my political/philosophical/religious blogging as well. Things will progress.
