For the first time in a long time, I have no desire to write. I can't think of anything worth saying. I can't find anything that feels like me.
Work is strange. We've had a week of intense drama and rampant gossip. I kept my distance. My apartment is a mess. It looks clean, but it's not. I keep forgetting I put the first plants in and need to water them. The sun is out and the trees are suddenly green and leafy. Strangers keep asking me out on dates. Strange ones. I don't care. It's spring, for godssakes. It's all chemical.
I sent out a short "story" (insofar as everything I write is borderline fiction) and haven't heard anything back. I have no idea if this bothers me or not. It certainly doesn't surprise me. Not in any kind of self-deprecating way, either - but just in the way that there is too much writing in the world and not enough places to put it. In a bold and unprecedented move, I'm not taking it personally.
Oh - but here's a question: Does anyone know if there's an easy way to archive all blog posts? I'd like to get these all burned to disc(s). You know, just in case I never feel like writing anything again. It should be fairly obvious that this post in particular is worth saving for ever and ever.
I'd like to do it in a single shot, rather than going to the trouble of copy/pasting everything into files.
