Bloggers do get Writer’s Block

U IZ BANND FROM TEH TWITTA.

 

This post­ing on http://on10.net/ : “64bits. More than 2 times 32″ has been in my Win­dows Live Writer drafts for too long. Sit­ting there, look­ing at me.

The topic was easy. I knew I was going to write some­thing about Vista x64. Not that I am the world’s expert: and that was half of the prob­lem. Research­ing, read­ing. Try­ing things out.

Writ­ing it down, well that is another matter.

Some days writ­ing is easy. It just flows. From your brain through the keys. Music going to get a steady rhythm. No-one in the house inter­rupt­ing your thoughts.

Other days, you are not in the zone. Watch some video. Listen to some Pod­casts. Twit­ter a little. Twit­ter a lot.

And twit­ter, my friends, is suck­ing the words from my brain. That’s it. Twit­ter is a word-sucking-vampire of thoughts.
