I’ll just put it bluntly: I’m sorry I’ve been absent from this blog. I could blame it all on the fact that I’m taking summer classes, or blame it on the fact that I grossly misled myself about the amount of free time that I would have over the summer. I could lie through my teeth and blame it on those things but the simple reality is: I have found that I have nothing to write about.

That’s right, zilch, zip, squat. I’ve tried countless times to try and sit down to write something, something that I thought would inspiring, profound, and exciting to read. But all I found was that I’m full of shit. That’s what writer’s block will do to you. It’s not the simple fact of “oh I don’t have anything to write about,” it’s more like: “I absolutely hate everything that I write.”

So, I sit here. Looking at my dimly lit screen, sipping my beer(shh don’t tell the cops), and watch the words appear on the page as if it’s like magic. I sit silently, hearing my fingertips make pitter patter noises on the keyboard, and hope to god that whoever is nice enough to read this finds it interesting. Because that’s what every writer wants deep down, to have someone read the words that they  painstakingly put down on paper and have somebody tell them that they enjoyed it.

That is why I have created this blog post, for those who look to my blog and hope to find something that they enjoy. In the time that I have taken off I have had multiple friends ask: “Mitch where’s the blog at?”, “Mitch, why haven’t you written anything lately?” I’d thank each and every one of you that has asked me this question, because it means that what I think about, what I create, means something to someone. All the extra time that I put in making stories, writing think pieces, and just fooling around is not wasted time.

So I say to you, WILBBlog fans, keep your eyes peeled. It may take some time, and some sweat, and maybe a tear or two, but I WILB back with hopefully a post-a-week on this site.

Signed,

The Master Wilbologist
