One of the hot topics that always floats around writing circles is the idea of writer’s block.

It’s always a biggy. Just what is it that causes the creative juices to suddenly stop flowing? And more importantly, what are you supposed to do to get them started again?

I’ve never claimed to be the most fashionable fellow. I suppose just the fact that I use words like ‘fellow’ probably gives me away. I’ve never been too concerned with following the latest fashion trends. I’ve never cared too much about being up to date on the latest tastes.

It’s not often that I get to write about something current on my blog. My life, from day to day, is hardly exciting, so I’m usually scratching my head trying to figure out what vital and essential information I should post each week. I generally have to dig deep into my brain to extract some random idea I can spin out to the requisite 400-500 word length.

Life is busy, isn’t it. So many things you want to do, and so little time to do them all.

While I do my best to juggle all of my conflicting demands, and I focus on the things that are most important to me, there’s always that sense of regret that I’m not able to do all the things I’d like to do. To that end, I keep a mental list of some of those things that generally fall off the radar when life gets hectic, just to ensure they’re not forgotten.

Circuses are pretty cool.

Like many people, I’ve often had the dream of being a circus performer. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be able to stand in a ring in the middle of a massive crowd of people and provide them with amazing entertainment.
