Ennui

Over the past 12 years,

since I started a new chapter in my life,

I have been planning

or I should say hoping to find the extra time I need to become a better writer.

I like the enjoyment I get from creating new stories

and writing them down for people to read.

When I started seriously playing the guitar in my younger days,

I would come home from work

and spend two to three hours practicing.

I'm not saying this made me a great guitar player,

but for the kind of music I was playing

and writing at the time,

it made me more professional.

Along comes the

Coronavirus

and now I have all extra time I need.

Like most people I have set up routines to combat complete

"ennui"

and keep my body fit,

somewhat.

Part of my routine is overeating!

Or what those

Influencers

like to call

Boredom Eating!

 

 Now that we are all staying home,
I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to really buckle down

and start typing away at my computer.

"Getting things done,"

as they say.

But,

there is another side of writing that I didn't think about when I found all this time on my hands.

I call it stimulus.

Like,

Social Interaction,

Site Seeing,

Traveling,

Museums,

Art Museums,

Zoos,

People Watching,

and anything else that you can thing of that makes up this beautiful world of ours.

I have the time now

but I don't have the

Stimulus

to be creative.

I am not going to use the excuse

"Writers Block!"

Because I know me.

I love to babble when I have an audience

and I am never for a

"Lost Of Words."

The worst thing a writer can do is start reading a lot of books

and copy the style of another writer.

I have to stay true to me

and my ideas,

even when they are not coming as fast as I would like!

This is,

See,

I Can't Think Of Anything To Say Here,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I would rather die of passion than of boredom.”
- Émile Zola -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
