writers block and fear...

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks

seems like for the past two weeks now i have this sort of "writers block". call it a creativity block, or an excuse... i don't know, just not posting a lot lately. there have been several times in the last year, which is my first full year of bloging, that this has happened to me.

i started a blog in the first place out of fear... fear of critics, no one would read, that i had nothing to say, at least nothing anyone wanted to hear... whatever the fear, it paralyzed me to stay dormant and read everyone else's thoughts. the fight to create, to cultivate, to share, to shape, shift, nudge... that is why i fought the fear and the paralysis.

the next difficult thing for me is to write what i am saying. whether it is something coming out of the gathering, leadership, trainings, dreams, lunches... whatever...

then, of course i have this desire to give something worth grappling with. i want to give you something worth chewing and wrestling to force to think. nothing absent minded, shallow, lifeless. often times this puts pressure on me.

so... all that to say.... i am just going to write. if you tune in, awesome, if you comment, great... from the beginning i said that this is my dairy out loud... so i will journey on...

i pray that fear does not keep me, keep you dormant. i pray that your boredom leads you to explore and discover the life and imagination of god.... the intimacy that we were created for.

In my opinion, I think your blogs are great. They give me something to think about as I go on the day, and it keeps me plugged in for thegatherings. You're doing awesome, really.

Freddy,
No one has ever taught me or influenced me in my relationship with God more than you have.

And everytime I have come to you for advice or just someone to talk to, you have always said the perfect thing.

I love what you are doing to help our community and I feel so blessed to have you in my life and just there helping me along.

And I about the writers block...I know how you feel! I always hate reading my blog because I feel like I don't make since or that I never have anything to say. But you are helping at least one person out(myself).
Keep on truckin, dude!
:)

more or less, ditto what liz said.

i always love hearing what you have to say on just day to day life.

ROCK THE BOAT!!!.. o wait.. lol
