Writer's block

When you can't think of anything to write about despite having the itch to put something into words, then you resort to writing a post about the dreaded "writer's block" as sort of a placeholder until a really good idea comes along. For your unconvenience, this is that post. Be afraid. Be very afraid...

Believe it or not, I've been at this blog writing thing since Fall 2009. You'd think I'd be an expert by now. In all actuality, hardly. Many times I feel like I've only scratched the surface. To date, I've written fewer than 120 posts. That's only an average of roughly 10 posts per year. One a month. Totally unacceptable. Many people make New Year's resolutions; perhaps I should make one for the new decade: write more.

Had I been a complete couch potato and done absolutely nothing, lack of writing would make sense. But I've gotten out and test driven new cars (not looking to replace my beloved CR-V just yet. I'm fascinated with new automotive technology and like to stay informed and experience all of it.) That's enough to write a post.

I've had the pleasure of experiencing two new roller coasters this year with some friends at media events before the general public got to ride. There's a blog post or two.

Lastly in my excuse-making as to why I've been so lazy about writing...healthwise, I'm struggling a bit. Everyone from here to Wichita (except the greater Tulsa area because some cable channel blacked them out) knows that I'm living with Type 2 diabetes. Many people struggle with it, so I'm not alone. But everyone with diabetes has a unique situation. It is said that no two diabetics are the same despite fighting the same disease. I have written about my own battle a few times, but, given some of the "advice" I've gotten from armchair physicians, maybe it's time for a refresher, if for no other reason than to educate people.

So there you have it. Stay tuned for more.
