PenteKing’s BodyBlog

Which, vacation time aside, is the longest non-posting period I’ve had since starting this blog. Is it that I have little else to say, or simply the fact that I seem to be busier lately than I have been for the past few months? Truth be told, it’s a touch of both. I’ve been perusing the web site, posting comments to other bloggers, soaking in the news about the Arnold, researching information on how to improve my physique, so it’s not as though I’ve been slacking off completely. Yet, I’ve had little to no inspiration to put anything down on paper. From comments I’ve received from other members, lulls such as this happen from time to time. I wouldn’t know, never having committed myself to anything like this before. I write as a hobby, and pride myself on my short stories and novels, yet even there, I’ve been in an extended dry spell. I started a novel about a man who learns he has a terminal disease. Like most people, after dealing with the initial shock, he goes about trying to put his life in order. When I started the novel, it seemed vibrant and fresh and new. Looking at it, now jaundiced eyes, it seems trite and banal - boring beyond words and not worth the effort of finishing.

Perhaps I’m simply going through a phase. I can only hope so, because feeling this way SUCKS! I’ll post again when I’m in a better mood. For those of you who read this and end up getting depressed, please accept my heartfelt apology.
