It occurs to me, that writers writing about writer's block don't really have it at all. Writer's block would be classified as not being able to write at all, which the writer obviously can. I would say, instead, that the writer has simply cashed themselves out on the subject matter at hand.
This could, perhaps, be the reason I feel the need to work on several projects at the same time. When my thought process has tapped out on one, I can simply just move on to the next. This would be excellent if I actually wrote for a living, but alas...I do not.
So instead of writing my lectures, I'm writing blogs. Blogs about blogging and other bloggie type things. Blog blog blog blog blog. For some reason I find this immensely entertaining when faced with the statistics slides just a simple window swap away.
I suppose it doesn't help that I'm currently watching a movie about a writer that has writer's block. I'm not sure it is really writer's block when you're writing lectures. Is it then teacher's block? Lecturer's block? I know exactly what I should be writing...but I just don't feel like writing it.
Sigh......
