Writing is hard

You've probably noticed over the last couple of days a large number of links, and not much Fjordian wit encapsulated in prose. The reason for this is two-fold.
ONE
Blogger - the electronic format to which Fjord is bound, has been giving us fits for days-if not weeks, possibly months. It's annoying as hell when I can't even get logged in to this deal-i-o, and it's even worse when I write something and it just frikkin disappears.
TWO
Writing is hard. And working here, requires a lot of writing. All the time, writing, writing, writing...and when you're not writing, your reading stuff you can write about, or thinking of what you're going to write. It's a vicious cycle.

Anyways, writing is a lot of things, but, like I said, writing is not like, easy. Actually, writing is not like a lot of things. For instance...

1)Writing is not like building a house.
2)Writing is not like cleaning a room.
3)Writing is not like cooking a 5 course meal
4)Writing is not like killing a man.
5)Writing is not like making a phone call.
6)Writing is not like being eaten by an anaconda.
7)Writing is not like playing basketball.
8)Writing is not like drinking a cold beer.
9)Writing is not like making your bed. - Ooop, gotta dash out for a sec!

Sorry, I had to go throw the clothes in the wash...so what was I babbling about here? Yadda-yadda-yadda- lack of posts...humm-dee-dumm-viscous cycle...mumble mumble grumble...whaa?!? See that's what I mean about writing being hard. You write one thing then BLAMO, you realize it's crap.

1)Writing is just like building a house! See, to write well, you need lots of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, not to mention carpet and shingles and a good banker.
2)Writing is just like cleaning a room! Honestly, to write well, you've got to get on your hands and knees and scrub the floor, dust the lightbulbs, call the French Maid Service, and ravage the one they sent over - for as long as it takes to forget you're supposed to be cleaning...and fall asleep.
3)Writing is just like cooking a 5 course meal. You need a good stove, lots of pans and ladles and at least two young tender juicy children.
4)Writing is just like killing a man. It takes ether, a good-sized pipe-wrench, a strangler-cord and an ice-pick. Then, you'll need some acid, a few trashbags and a good alibi.
5)Writing is just like making a phone call. It's all about hello and goodbye, and a ton of shit inbetween.
6)Writing is just like being eaten by an anaconda. There's the initial "I'm being crushed by its powerful coiling action" moment, then there's the phase when you feel most of your bones being crushed and broken, then there's the point where you don't care anymore, and are engulfed.
7)Okay, this one is spot on - WRITING IS NOTHING LIKE PLAYING BASKETBALL.
8)And this one's pretty okay too, WRITING IS NOT LIKE DRINKIN A COLD BEER. However, it is very hard to write without drinking, but it is also very hard to write well, when drunk. Perplexing...
9)Writing is just like making your bed, cause a tight piece of writing and a tightly made bed make the chicks go crazy and usually (tho not always) before they rip the bed apart, they rip your clothes off!

Yep, that's writing for ya...
