It is very difficult to write freely these days.
One of the worst situations that can befall a blogger has descended on me : overwhelming boredom. Now that I don't have anything exciting to do, I don't have anything exciting to talk about. Change and innovation are the keys to having fun, which aside from making money and other overrated agendas is our goal in life. And due to lack of it, thus inspiration is harder to come by. When the best you can think of is "[blank] is fun", "I am never going to [blank] again" or "[blank] and [blank] does not bode well for a typical human stomach", you know something is wrong.
How much can you credibly write on some issues anyway? You spend one paragraph talking about the pros, maybe another paragraph talking about the cons, and the rest then descends into mindless dribble that threatens to turn the reader's brain into care-bear-shaped jelly.
It gets worse for Professional writers that go beyond the two sentences from so-called "celebrity bloggers" who are only named so because they get two lines published in the papers every week. One wrong move, and a thousand men in black suits and sunglasses come knocking on your door. 998 of them then realise you're not Mr. Anderson, and you're left with the two troublesome ones who put you in front of a goofy old guy in a white wig. And then you go to jail.
Word limits become a pain in the ass as well. See, most publications have a word limit. After a certain amount of words, you run out of adjectives and have to resort to using words like "itchies", "scratchies" and "snuzzlebunnies". Can you actually say "LKY is the absolute retarded nutterbutters of all time" and get it published? Without getting deported to a far-off African nation? At the very least?
Innovation, then, is required to mitigate this crime against writers. It begins with a few subtle words to insidiously draw readers in, and ends with them gawking at ingenuity, alerting the presses, doing all they can to get you on TV and making everyone jealous. Who's to say that person can't be you? Is there any reason you can't be the person who realises allowing gay marraiges are the key to ridding the world of homosexuals? Or that Hayden Chistensen is actually a distant relative of Ali G? Go on, there's nothing stopping you. Get cracking! Go to the library and start researching! Get caught in abstract thoughts till the universal truth dawns on you!
Or, if you're terribly uncreative like me, just switch off and let your hands do the work on the keyboard.
