What Is It?

More frequently than I like, when I sit down to write, I simply cannot get started. I may have a dozen ideas that I consider, but none of them captures my imagination. None of them seem particularly interesting. I just can't get excited enough about a topic to put words down.

I can't decide whether those times come because I have too many things on my mind and just can't get them sorted out and prioritized, or whether I'm just at a creative low ebb.

It may be something else. It may be that I just don't feel like writing. I may just be lazy...not enough discipline to write, regardless of my mood. This last one is the one I find most disturbing. I want to write, or rather to produce output of some value, but I may not want to go to the trouble to do it.

It's something I should think about. Today, I'm posting this late, after getting back from a trip south. I have too much to do to spend time tonight, but it has to be high on my list.
