It suddenly occurred to me a few minutes ago why blogging is so painful for me.
I've stopped thinking.
In some ways I think more than I used to. I consider things, I evaluate them, but in general, the thinking muscle has atrophied. Snippets of thought better suited to Facebook or Twitter are what my brain produces now. I find it difficult to pen a cohesive letter any more.
I'm beginning to wonder if a tumblr might not be a more appropriate venue for my lack of writerishness.
