Writer's Block

I haven't written any blog posts for about six months. While I'm not much of a writer, I still have been suffering from writer's block. At first, I just blamed it on being busy, but the longer I didn't write the harder it became for me to sit down and write. After taking time off, it is kind of intimidating to start blogging again. So much has happened in the last six months, but I don't even know where to start.

Not only have I've been suffering from writer's block on my blog, I kind of feel like it is plaguing my entire life. I've found myself ignoring emails, avoiding writing prayer/support letters, struggling to find words to write on projects for work, and avoiding facebook chats and long messages. I'm not even journaling.

In addition to avoiding written words, I have also been avoiding verbal communication. For the most part, I've barely called anyone on the telephone. I've been blaming it on the spotty cell phone reception at my house and the fact that no one really calls me unless I call them first, but truthfully I think I'm just avoiding connecting with people. When I do talk to people, I keep it pretty light and short. Since I'm still relatively new to the community, I haven't developed many deep local friendships, so I don't even have that many face to face conversations. Sometimes the only people I talk to all day long are Abigail, and maybe one of my two co-workers.

Overall, there is has been a lack of words in my life the last couple of months. It is starting to wear on me a little bit, and I'm feeling lonely. I know I'm the only one to blame, since I haven't made an effort. So this is blog post is an attempt to break the silence and perhaps combat the plague of writer's block.

I kind of feel silly even posting this, but perhaps putting something out there it better than continuing in silence. Besides I doubt anyone even reads my blog anymore due to my silence.
