I need to hit that.
Having to hit the keyboard all day due to my job, I admit that my zeal to enter the blog world is waning rapidly. This is of grave concern to me. Writing is important. I don't want the opportunities to write to slip away into oblivion.
Once again I find myself in the familiar routine of being able to write business correspondence efficiently and accurately (or so I think, ha ha), but my energy to write non-business correspondence is on the decline. I know that when I think about it (and I did as I took the commuter bus from North York to Mississauga today) that there are a lot of things that I could write about. Like what? Well, my husband's (Mr. Unfazed), father is having surgery tomorrow. I could write about my observations of the family coping and the need for strength and staying together. That's one idea which I'll run by Mr. Unfazed and see if he's OK with it.
I could also write about the adjustment of returning to work after an almost 6 month leave. The fact that I wasn't even actively looking to reenter the workplace has certainly had an impact on my perspective and emotions which I could explore further.
How about the books that I'm reading? I recently finished reading "Bergdorf Blondes" by Plum Sykes - a 2004 satirical view into the lives of the privileged Manhattan elite. I've read similar themed books in the past but this particular work had me enthralled and mesmerized by its hilarity. Thinking of my own middle-class suburban existence, I smiled to myself as I compared the complicated and extravagant lives of the rich. Deviously I wondered if the "appalling dreariness" (not what I really think, just imagining what the other side would think) of my life would trigger a myocardial infarcation for some of these high society ladies.
My BlackBerry just buzzed and compulsively, I checked the message. Mr. Unfazed and I may pop over to Moxies (the little ladies are with my mother tonight) for a drink and to unwind. I could write about my experience there. The drinks, the ambiance, the scene. Or, I could write about how I'd prefer a night at home for rest and relaxation not to mention it would be easier on the wallet. Mr. Unfazed just called. He agrees. A night at home makes sense. Off I go to pop in the appetizers.
Lots to hit that keyboard with. Loads.

It's hard but keep at it! Even a post like this is great...and you're not alone. I'm finding my creative juices fading fast from my own writing as I think up ideas and write press releases, articles for the bee people. The idea of lugging the netbook out when I've been online all day instead of zoning out to some wine and bad tv while chatting to Mr. Lawyer is needless to say, difficult to say the least. But, we go on, attempting and who knows maybe finally find that magic formula to keep our brains going well after the computer shuts down for the day. :-)
