Insert excuse for not writing on my blog -here-

It has been far, far too long. If you're reading this, then you have more faith in me than I do right now. Although it seems entirely impossible to me now, I suffered from serious writer's block during my last six months in Japan. I spent so much time trying to figure out what it meant to me and where I was going in my life that I was actually incapable of producing any sort of meaningful prose.
 And now I'm back in the States...adjusting to life back home, trying to figure out what it all means...suffering from writer's block.
 What IS the deal with that? This, undoubtedly, has been the longest stretch in my life where I am not writing some form of narrative to piece together the insanity that has been life. If I'm not waxing philisophic about something then what the hell have I been doing lately.
 The answer, I suppose, is pursuing a graduate degree I only care about on paper, and working my butt off to pay the bills.
 But the truth...is that I want to really write again. It's something I miss and realize that it really means something to me.
 So here's to re-beginning this blog....for real this time.

Most of my problems with writer's block can be directly correlated with other life problems and upheavals. As George Orwell said, it's impossible to focus on writing when you're struggling just to make a living.
