BLOCK PARTY
Friday, December 16th, 2005Lately I’ve been having writer’s block. To be more accurate, it’s not a block, it’s more of an insecurity about what I have written. (2 or 3 posts by now, and you haven’t seen any of them.) The ideas I have are all floating around without structure, substance, or conclusion. It’s very disappointing. They are ideas like; Well, in Switzerland, it was the farmers who began constructing watches, in the winter, when the fields were fallow- or; Here are some ways not to get a date- or; I sure do like This American Life. But none of those ideas are interesting on their own. In fact, they are not ideas at all. They are just starting points. The real ideas happen when those jump-offs are substantiated by the real ideas. The real ideas are what I’m having a hard time articulating.
