Writing: Writer's Block

WTF? Seriously, I can't believe I'm having writer's block with blogging. I think (which I try not to do too much) that it is because I share my life on this blog and I have one rule: I won't blog about my marriage unless it is good. And so when things aren't so good (no worries....just another hurtle in the marriage marathon) and it is consuming my life (still no worries...it's all good.....I think), I don't want to blog about it...'cause really who wants to know? And if you do want to know...well that's a bit freaky right?

I read in my most recent US Weekly magazine (to which I'm unreasonably addicted) that Ashley Judd starts each morning writing down all the things that bug her so as to not take it out on others. This makes so much sense to me. When I've read about Morning Pages (ala' Julia Cameron "The Artist's Way") and other similar things I've always worried that venting in the a.m. would color my day all gray and puce and peagreen. And some yucky burnt orange thrown in there too if the vents were serious enough. I am Crayola-oriented.

I'm going to give this a try to see if it does help "cleanse" rather than "dye" and if it improves my ability to get along with idiots...er...other people.
