I’ve Got Designers & Writers Block … $%&£!

Arghhhhhh! Work is totally dominating my thoughts at the moment, to the point where I’m struggling to get a good nights sleep because everything is ticking over in my head, long in to the night. As a result, and anyone who’s looked at the site recently will have noticed, my blogging has suffered. I do have a long list of articles that I’ve wanted to write over the last 6 weeks, but I just cant find the time, or focus on things long enough to write anything that remotely resembles good English language. My frustrations came to a head earlier when I read a fantastic article on Web Design Booth called 65 Absolutely Cool And Creative Twitter Backgrounds.

As I usually do when I see something inspirational, I grabbed a scrap of paper and poised myself to jot down some ideas in postage stamp sized diagrams that only I could ever possible understand. This trick allows me to get the gist of it down, then when I get home from work I can expand on the idea and have a play about in Photoshop or Dreamweaver to see what I can make of it. But this time, all I did was stare at the screen, then the paper … back to the screen, then back to the paper. Absolutely nothing sparked in my head. WTF!

Needless to say, I think I need a break from the twists and tales of the relentless paper work. Thankfully I’m off to Rome with my other half in the morning, so I’ll do lots of relaxing, plenty of sight seeing, a fair bit of drinking.

See you all when I’m back.

Arrivederci!!!
