Writer's Block

Even though I spent most of my career writing (scripts, press releases, marketing materials, reports -- the list goes on), I seem to be writing more now than ever before. In many respects, it is more satisfying, since I'm not constrained (too much) by the expectations of other people. Of course, the pay is diddly-squat or non-existent. But there is something to be said about branching out into different areas and feeling good about many of the finished products. That is (as they say) -- priceless.

It's also nice to get positive comments from friends. They're either stupid or feel sorry for me.

The good thing about writing on a daily basis is that it helps keep the mind active. But in my quest for perfection (did I tell you I was a perfectionist?), I tend to spend too much time on projects, over thinking them to the point where I become stuck, and writer's block takes over.

Now what was I going to say?
