Journal dominator2010's Journal: block 2
I can't think of anything to write. I don't seem to be getting around to writing about my daily life, and I can't seem to come up with any creative stories to write about. I can't tell if it's writer's block, or that I'm not trying hard enough. I think I need to force myself to sit down and write about something.
I think part of what's holding me back is fear. I tend to start thinking about what I'd like to be writing and then can't follow through because I'm scared it won't come out right. I also get scared of working more on some stories in fear that I'll screw a part up. Though since it's just computer work it's not like it would be all that hard to remove an entire section, or make changes so that it worked better.
In my strange ways, that's another thing to worry about. I get to thinking that I might work on something too much and then ruin it that way. I can't believe it, but I made myself laugh at how silly that thought was. It's ridiculous that I over think things so much. I had overcome that for a period, but I seem to be getting stuck in that bad habit again.
To combat it successfully as I have done before I need to get into the mode where I act and not think. It's a matter of doing things rather than trying to lay out the path before I get there. That's precisely how to get nowhere.
In retrospect, I'm happy that these silly things are the most of my worries. It's nice to have such frivolous things be at the forefront of my thought rather than such serious things that are truly detrimental.

happens to everyone. (Score:1)
Like last night, when I dreamt of being a vampire-hunter, and went into a lovely arts & crafts house with rumford fireplaces [rumford.com] and a big honkin' coal burning furnace (which looked like a giant oil drum with a flame, with a pile of coal below it).

That could be the case in my situation. I know that when I dream I generally feel more rested when I wake, and therefore generally have a better day. I don't think this is a single limiting factor for me though. Or at least I would hope it's not.
For now I'm just going t
