Still potentially awesome

I’m not sure whether signing up for the May challenge on 750words.com has backfired or not. I’m still in the running for my position on the Wall of Awesomeness, although because of the contract, I’m doing it solely for the fact that I’ll be considered awesome. Not a bad reward in itself, but I could have at least offered myself an official pat on the back or something. Then again, had I chosen a reward like that, my punishment for ending up on the Wall of Shame could have been an official noogie, so maybe it’s best that I settled for nothing.

But the problem is that I almost always look forward to write my daily entry whether it’s going to be gibberish or not. It’s usually about 15 minutes out of the day (or in my case, the wee hours of the morning) and I just cruise through, letting my fingers roam free and write “Lessee… yeah, can’t think of anything to write at the moment.” Not awe-inspiring, really, but I still look forward to it.

Unfortunately, that’s led to a lack of blog entries. I get that much writing out of my system and then feel thoroughly uninspired to write anything else. Sure, I’ve had ideas floating through my head (like “Hey, if you don’t shave soon, you’ll start to resemble Bigfoot! With stinkier breath!”), but nothing to show for it on here and that’s disappointing.

I wish I had a solution, but I don’t. I should write in here more often for everyone’s sake—yours as well as mine—but if May’s challenge to end up on the Wall of Awesomeness is going to suck all the creative energy out of my brain… maybe I’ll think about this some more when I’m writing tomorrow’s entry.
