Maybe that week she had a serious case of writer's block. For the last twenty minutes I've stared blankly at this screen wondering where all my motivation and inspiration went, where are all those funny stories that were in my head just an hour ago?&lt;br /&gt;You know what? Maybe I'll do that random Wiki page thing and try and write about whatever pops up. Hold on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Kilibiti&lt;/b&gt; is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village" title="Village"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0645ad;"&gt;village&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamingui-Bangoran" title="Bamingui-Bangoran"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0645ad;"&gt;Bamingui-Bangoran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Prefecture in the northern &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_African_Republic" title="Central African Republic"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0645ad;"&gt;Central African Republic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just my luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I could talk about sports and how not into them I am...&lt;br /&gt;Or I could talk about... my brothers. For some reason I think a column about them would be funnier than a book... because with a column you have a little more backstory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, I guess I just need to stop hesitating and dive right in like there is a deadline to meet. I suppose that's what most of them do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1712402882776361993-5587178885392430105?l=heyjones.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heyjones.blogspot.com/feeds/5587178885392430105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heyjones.blogspot.com/2011/11/wow-this-is-harder-than-i-thought.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1712402882776361993/posts/default/5587178885392430105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1712402882776361993/posts/default/5587178885392430105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heyjones.blogspot.com/2011/11/wow-this-is-harder-than-i-thought.html' title='Wow, This is Harder Than I Thought'/><author><name>asdfasdf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04273725392002050383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712402882776361993.post-7130789434751965278</id><published>2011-11-03T14:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T14:50:16.166-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Don't I Have a Column?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;I was reading the local news during my lunch break, specifically a column written by a local, and I thought to myself "Why am I not doing something like this?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;Because really, the article was kind of dull, about nothing that would really interest anyone else (besides, perhaps, the author's relatives), and frankly, I think I could do better. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;So here's where I'm going to give column writing a shot.
