What Mark doesn't prescribe in "Writing the Living Web" is a cure for writer's block. I've had it for over a week. Hence the blogging. It's dissertation block, not blogblock.
But as so many times before, I find it is because I hadn't thought things through. I thought I had, but some smarter guy deep inside me knew better. He kept nagging me, distracting me, pulling me from writing with sudden reminders of cool Web sites long forgotten, ideas for homepage redesigns, strong arguments about the necessity of having every CD I own as MP3s as well (not to mention backups of the mp3s), and an urge for fresh coffee at shorter and shorter intervals.
I just thought it was procrastination, so I kept at it. Trying to hammer out sentences as if writing is like digging a tunnel. With your forehead. Then suddenly, while on the phone with a friend, this other guy in my brain's basement just shows me the solution. Everything else snapped so nicely into a snug fit the neighbours must have heard the click.
Turned out I wasn't being lazy at all. I was just typing too loudly for the smarter guy to think.
