The Hunt Begins

I haven’t written in a long time.  That I haven’t blogged in a long time is abundantly clear, but really writing of any kind has been on neither my to-do list nor my have-done list in months.  I haven’t been keeping up my journal, and none of the last couple of classes I took at school required any writing beyond simple note-taking.  I have written several letters to friends in the past several weeks, it’s true, but those only whetted my appetite for more.  I’m hungry to write. 

Of course, one of the biggest, most insurmountable obstacles that I face when I want to write is that I have great difficulty coming up with a subject.  To continue my hunger analogy, it’s as though I’m all geared up to go hunting for my much-needed food but I never start because I don’t know what I am hunting for.  So I get nothing, and that’s that. 

But now!  Ah, now things are different, for I have decided to hunt deer.  And deer are whatever I want my subject to be at the moment, whatever story or idea it behooves me to share.  See?  Problem solved. 

The deer of the moment is a simple little quote: “Never stay up late browsing the internet.  It is a dreadful waste of time and sets you onto a dreadful cycle of fatigue producing fatigue.  Beware!”
