What’s this about

I’ve hit upon my own form of writer’s block, it seems. Whether it’s depression, PTSD, grief, laziness, or post-menopausal annoyance, I appear to be stalled. At least it’s a bit universal – I feel stalled across much of my existence.

In my defence, pointed out by my counsellor, I am doing a lot of emotional work between my father and daughter. Practical, too, if you get into the weeds, but I tend to ignore those in favour of self-castigation.

I want to write, but I keep butting up against the “one true way” dilemma for blogging, monitored by the great blogging gods above, of course.

I want to write, but the idea of headings, form, structure, and cohesion feels a little beyond me at the moment. I’m also struggling with journalling – I figure maybe combining the two into something new here will kick me into forward momentum in an area I value.

Fingers crossed. Then again, I’m a big believer in “if you build it, they’ll come,” and I already built this page. Having it here and waiting is hopefully going to be the inspiration the blog-proper hasn’t been of late.
