Sometimes when I get to the keyboard, which you may have noticed isn’t often, the first thought is ‘now what?’. Having an idea in my head isn’t the same as putting it on paper or the screen as it were. If it were that simple and easy you’d have volumes to read and I would have cramped fingers. Thus it is that I sometimes fumble around over the keyboard trying to let the Nickle drop. Otherwise known as wasting time because I have writer’s block. Somewhere a long time ago, I read that to cure writer’s block, you must read a lot and, above all, write something. Anything. (I don’t recall it saying it had to be worth reading, and no, I don’t recall the source.) It also means a very small portion of what I write ever gets saved much less published for your enjoyment on this blog. (Be thankful for that.)

So now that you know my excuse, err, reason for not writing more often, we come back to the question of: now what?
