Brain Blockitis


If I was an uber, professional blog writer I would be able to produce pithy, intellectual writing that hit home immediately with every word, paragraph and topic without fail, daily, and on time.

Um..yah.

I'm not that kind of writer.

Sometimes I hit those days when there just isn't anything that fires off the brain spark to punch out a fiver of paragraphs and wrap it up with solid closer. Sometimes I just don't have a darn thing coming out of the brain bucket.

You might be thinking, well, what the hell is this article then? A cheapo placeholder to bleed out a bit more crypto without doing the work for it?!?

Okay, you might be a smidgen' right (I mean I don't mind the tips, honestly), but really this article is about what it takes to really churn out solid writing on a daily basis while at the same time also holding down a regular job, life, family and all the usual stuff. It's actually, pretty darn hard. Now, there's some writers on here who make article output their fulltime day. They either make a regular living writing, or they have someone else taking care of the roof and have the luxury of being able to write without having to do it for someone else as a boring memo producer. The last time I had that luxury, however, was my last year in college. Never knew how good I had it until after I graduated. Damn.

Anyways, back to my miserable excuse for an article today; beer helps. Ah, see, now I have your attention.

Yes, French philosophers had their bottles of wine and bread, Van Gogh had his detached ear, and I have cold beer. It is an amazing muse when it comes to writing. First, a nice old one helps me relax. You can't write good stuff being stressed. Period. Just like you can't eat and be angry; the two don't work. Try it, I'm serious, it really doesn't work. A nice solid beer is great for the writing process, and I recommend one bottle every night when writing solid. Not six, that would be binging, just one cold beer. Okay, maybe two.

Now, you would think that crypto topics and NFTs would give plenty to write about. Unfortunately, Discord drama can produce more words faster sometimes than crypto news. I mean, honestly, how many DeFi channels can you hear about being hacked before you kind of get bored? What, another $50 million in ETH stolen last night? Meh. Some other side lost twice that five hours later. (Of course, I did get my $62 out of Harvest.Finance post-haste with all the de-fi hacks going on lately).

So, after all the literary dribble above, did you learn anything new?

Um...probably not.

But I'll be honest, it did put me in a better mood, which means I'll probably sleep pretty good tonight. Oh, and the Reese's Buttercups with another cold one won't hurt either.
