Writer's Block

Hmm… What can I write about? What can I write about? I’m starting to learn that it’s pretty difficult to come up with something to write about every day. Usually I’ll just write about anything that pops into mind, but seeing as how I’m slightly brain dead right now nothing's really jumping out or grabbing my attention.

I could potentially write about the rugby game (Springboks vs Wallabies) I watched earlier this morning, but seeing as I wrote a little bit about rugby last week and how we lost today I’m not really in the mood to delve too much into the match. I could also potentially write about how I've been successful in my two week break from coffee; and how today I was euphoric to sip on a good Rwandan Musasa from the Origin, the real stuff, with caffeine in - not that fake decaf crap that I've been using as a substitute; but for some reason that’s not really inspiring me either.

I could go into my views with regards to that guy from the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema and his talk about “eliminating” the opposition and how it completely freaks me out, but I don’t really want to tackle a depressing issue, particularly on a chill out day such as this one.

What I really need is something to stir up my creative juices, some sort of inspiration… a muse even; just to break the doldrums of my writer’s block, so that I can actually get going and put some words out there. There’s simply nothing worse than when you can’ think of anything. It’s like driving a car that won’t get out of first gear...

Gosh darn it, I’m just not feeling it. Think Benny, think! What on earth could I write about? I wonder if the great writers of our time such as Ernest Hemingway or Oscar Wilde ever suffered from such lackluster days?

At this rate I’ll be sitting here till tomorrow with absolutely nothing to post…
