Writer’s block.

I can’t remember ever having it before.  But I have it now.

Now that it’s summer, and I have plenty of time to write blog entries, it has become ridiculously hard to write those blog entries.

Everything that I write comes out stiff, forced, painful, yucky.  It takes me four times as long to write something that I’m one-quarter as proud of.

And on top of the awkward writing, I’m haunted by the voice of Cathie Mercier:  “Never use the word is in your writing!!”  Cathie used to circle every is on our papers in red ink, and I swear I can see red circles all over my blog entries.

Wicked annoying.  I hope this passes soon.
