Writers...or maybe Life Block

 I wrote a post about the absolute madness that was The Container Store college night (20% off all items in the store, hoards of frantic shoppers, a really well-timed mom impasse) but my concentration was broken by my mom (surprise surprise) in the middle of writing it and when I picked it up again the humor sort of went completely downhill. It irritates me just because a. I feel like I have some sort of obligation to post on here again – and make it good - and b. I’m beginning to wonder whether or not I’m still a decent writer. Granted, it could just be stagnation due to my circumstances – my life has gotten relatively repetitive, dull, and uninteresting, and if I find it uninteresting, it’s definitely not worth writing about. And I hate to rehash the topic of leaving for college and cutting ties and all that angsty crap, especially when I leave in two and a half weeks and I know I’ll mega-post about that.

So, with that, I leave you until I find something else post-worthy – and am able to actually effectively write about it.

Wait, okay, something for you to contemplate (and comment on, preferably): is it better to keep your secrets or to be completely open and honest?

P.S. I highly recommend the book below - short (100 pages), well organized, logical essay (yet very smoothly and beautifully written like a novel) about the conditions of women writers and their development. One of the best books i've read recently, definitely the best scholarly work i've read.

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out. I've always wanted to read Virginia Woolf but haven't gotten there yet.

I definitely have secrets that I never plan on telling anyone. Sometimes there are things that it's better to keep quiet about. Honestly, I think it's a bad idea to be completely open about everything, and when push comes to shove most people have things that they'd never tell.

But then again, this is coming from someone who didn't tell anyone about getting her period and instead made things very difficult for herself for about half a year.
