Hitting My Stride in Writing: Why The Apparent Hiatus, You Ask?

It is sad, but true, that writers begin to feel uninspired to write at some point in their careers. Whether it is due to lack of time or lack of motivation, some writers end up just falling off the bandwagon. I am such a case, and it kills me that I have such a hard time coming up with topics. And when I come up with a decent topic to write about, I am too busy to write about it and quickly forget it. This trend must stop, as I am slowly beginning to regain my will to take up my keyboard once again, to inform and to blast tyranny out of the water.

I remember when I was the young, upbeat, and eager upstart on this website, who was inspiring the veterans to keep pushing through their chronic cases of writer's block. Now, I am the veteran that needs inspiration. I am the one who seems to have chronic writer's block. I am the one who needs to get back on the horse and take it by the reigns. So, I have decided to come back with a simple article about writing. I know of users on this website who make their living writing articles about writing, but I never really saw how it could possibly be marketable. Heck, maybe I should ask them. However, this article is not meant to receive views or even receive money whatsoever. This article is my new beginning: to start over fresh once again.

I have written articles that have angered many people and have informed probably twice that many. Top five lists are my specialty, and I love to throw a zinger in once in a while. Some of my articles contain a controversial nature to them, and my opinions can sometimes be strong. It seems that the stronger my opinion is, the stronger my opponents become. That's how it is in life. Not everyone will agree with your opinion, no matter how major or minor it is. It was for that reason that a break from writing sounded quite refreshing. I wanted to think about myself, think about the world around me, and think about other ways I can make those opponents of mine think long and hard. Think of it as soul-searching...

But now I am back and better than ever. As cliche as that line may be and as useless as this article may be to you, this article is just what I needed to get back up and start a new relationship with my readers, the many users of Expertscolumn, and the moderators who continually went behind me to delete comments with cussing from opponents that I desperately wanted to respond to. I think my point to all of this rambling is to never give up writing. I have always thought that the moment you write your first article, you cannot stop. You can take a break for a week, a month (such as in my case), or even a year, but you will come back. They always say that their last article was published on this day, but there is no retirement so long as you have hands and a brain.
