Block

Well, I haven’t written for a while and that’s due to what essentially a big ol writer’s block. The stress of what’s going on in the world, with politics and insurrections, and covid. I’m tired all the time and often feel like I just want to lay in bed. I know that’s absolutely the worst thing I could do. Activate, activate is the chattery voice in my head. When I hear the voice, sit and write! I just feel so sleepy, and I ignore it. I know I should be chronicling all of this. These are important, historical days and I need to activate.
