“Example of Daniel”

When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

Daniel 6:19 (ESV)

I have writer’s block. That’s all there is to it. And sometimes, when you have writer’s block, you should just write about nothing until there is something. My imagination is still in overdrive, but it is stuck in a loop. I do not have the answer to what comes next or how it should transition. So I keep replaying the same thing over and over. I alter it a little bit each time, but now I’m bored with it and want to start over, but the initial impulse is gone.

I’m just blocked period. Desire and motivation have flown the coop. Procrastination rules the day.

Maybe summer does this to me. Perhaps it is the heat. Perhaps it is the surroundings. Perhaps it is the people.

It might be the idiocy and ridiculousness.

It might just be me.

I’m burned out. Burnt out?

So what do you do when you’re burnt to a crisp? Take a break? Stop? Try something else? Back out of everything?

Scream and yell and throw a tantrum?

Cry constantly.

Act out your frustrations?

Put it to paper?

Jump off of a cliff and pull some people with you? Tempting!

The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him?
2 Chronicles 1:13 (ESV)
