Bored with Writing.

Hi,there fellow WA members,

The past few days have been OK for me stuck here in Colombia. In the mornings The internet is at its most reliable and I try to get done online what I can.

During the rest of the morning I have a couple of students come in for Inglis lessons, usually accompanied by a parent.

I have been doing other stuff as well, like this afternoon I put a T. V. bracket on a wall for the people opposite me .

This has all "just" happened, I have no contract with a school. Yet I have the school's lessons they want the students to have completed and submitted on one of my computers.

I have to thank the school teacher in the unit above me for that.

The bracket job... well the neighbours spied a makita battery drill of mine resting under a bench.

I guess I can expect some other little handyman jobs to flow from that little project.

I have been putting out a couple of posts a week. I have not been happy with them though.

I know it is not the quality of the writing that people are interested in, or even the presentation.

It is the value of the information you provide.

Just to prove my point.

If some famous or (infamous), sweet thing gave you their phone number on a food wrapper. And the sales rep. from the hardware store gave you their gold printed business card.

I would bet the sales rep's number never got transfered to your phone.

It is... "somewhere"

But, I am trying to work out the reason my writing is turning crap.

I am thinking I am not on top of my topic. Maybe I am not empahasing value as well as I should be. I need to dig in more, but why aren't I?

It is hard to fathom in this current enviroment, compared to the one I was in this time last year.

Now there is no urgency for me to do anything. Last year was rush, rush, rush. And every now and then a referral would drop in,

I am doing other stuff as well, like going through Heidi Y's facebook training and preparing to set up a group. But it is taking me forever.

Maybe I am bored, there is nothing much happening. I need to go to a bar for a few hours or something, but they are all shut and the neighbours are tea totallers.

Plus, on Sunday mornings, one of their rellies is out in front of their unit doing the sermon for everyone.

I am allowed out once a week for a couple of hours.

I look at the time as it ticks down to when I can get out on street.

Fair Dinkum, As my day out gets closer, I get as excited as the crim who has returned to his cell to see the latest edition of Penthouse on his bunk !!

Michael.

Michael, I understand what you mean, I'm also not so excited about my website as I was in the beginning. I also sometimes think is my content good enough to capture attention, to keep the reader on my site? Is it better than the competition?
I should have had about 45 posts on my site by now and only have 36 because I stopped writing for a month.
But I know what always lifts my mood: some good comments. I request them now and then and they help me to get at least some feedback.
It also helps me to engage with the community here.
I've read some good posts about writer's block and I could relate.
I believe we will overcome this.
All the best,
Lenka

Hi Lenka,
I think we have to seriously question ourselves every now and then.
It helps keeps us sane... well...maybe.
Always good to hear from you Lenka. Thank you for your comment.
If we bounce stuff off each other we have to get better, don't we?

Michael.

Yeah, I think we do.
Have a nice weekend Michael.
Lenka

It will get better.
Stay safe
Lisa

Enjoy your weekend!

Jeff

Thanks JB,
I will have to get someone to have a look at the fridge today. I can't have the beer going hot.
Michael.

NOOOOOO! That would be a travesty, Michael!😲🍻

Hi Micheal, maybe you should start something new and fresh in this strange time what may get you excited? Look for some inspiration in a total different corner, time for a new chapter?
Maybe set yourself a (new) goal you can get excited about?
I hope your circumstances in Colombia will get better soon.
Take care and stay safe.
Jude

You might be on to something Jude
Michael.

Thank you Stuart.
Michael.
