I am getting clobbered.

I love to blog–I really do. I find significant satisfaction in stringing words together with enough attentive precision to accurately voice my unseen thoughts and emotions.

Yet I am doing that… almost never!

Some of this is external:

• Schedules are tight.
• Rhythms are scattered.
• Commitments are compromised.

Some of this is internal:

• Motivation is lacking.
• Weariness is present.
• Passion is waning.

Some of this is about writing:

• Perhaps I have a block.
• Perhaps I wish I had a block.
• Perhaps I am unsure why this is worth the effort.
• Perhaps I am discouraged by the realization that a guy who cannot consistently post 500 words is wildly dreaming if he ever wishes to publish a book of 50,000.

Some of this has nothing to do with writing:

• Time in Scripture is a hard push right now.
• Desire to pray is weaker than I wish.
• I am doing too much and being too little.

Sometimes one battle is waged on a dozen fronts. Sometimes I look like Braveheart. Sometimes I forget my sword at home. Sometimes I swing a pool noodle.

For today, I will derive my ounce of satisfaction from seeing that something got posted on October 28, 2014. It was scattered and sorry, but at its least, it was a marker on the wandering-and-wondering path!
