On Spiritual Holiday
For whatever reason I’m just not in a writing mood these days. Very intense. Working on projects. Lots of deals. Helping portfolio companies. Busy with my family. L-A-S-E-R-F-O-C-U-S-E-D. For the first time in nearly two years my well is dry, my inspiration lost. Having not experienced this since becoming a blogger, it is kind of freaking me out. Am I letting down my readers? Do I really have nothing more to say? Am I brain dead? None of these are pleasant prospects. It used to be that every day I had 2-3 ideas I wanted to write about and just couldn’t wait to sit down at the computer and type away. But that feeling is lost right now. And I am feeling somewhat guilty. And pretty sad about it.
That said, I am doing what I need to be doing, which is letting it flow - or not. I’m sure I’ll get over my hump, but for now I am taking care of business. My business. And right now my business does not seem to include writing. I am sure my feelings are not unusual and that many of my blogging friends and colleagues have experienced something similar, but right now it seems like I am the only regular blogger in the world who isn’t blogging regularly. And it feels like crap. Fred Wilson? Paul Kedrosky? Barry Ritholtz? Felix Salmon? Those guys are super-human. I am a mere mortal.
But not to worry, I’ll be back. Oh, you betcha. I’ll be back.
