Isn´t is strange that when you are supposed to be doing something, there is always something else more interesting or rewarding to be done. And you know that if you only could be doing the thing you are not suppose to be doing, the results would be magical. But as soon as you could be doing the other thing, instead of the first thing: numbness hits you. I am of course talking about blogging.

I have not posted anything for a while as I have been busy with (can you guess with what) writing yet another essay for the seminar. (Truth to be told I have not been writing as much as contemplating writing and the ever impeding deadline. In the end 9 weeks of “writing” culminated in 2 days of frantic grinding out words but little content.)

When I was supposed to be writing the essay, many many posts were started, not finished though. That would happen in a mere moment when the essay would be finished. Or so I thought.

Now I have been staring at my little embryos of a blogs for couple of weeks and nothing is happening. Instead I am drawn to cleaning (again?!), reading detective stories, playing scrabble in french, dreaming of distant lands & new blogs (can you imagine!) and thinking of starting my own business.

Oh well, what is a mademoiselle to do, except publish this one and continue staring. And maybe, just maybe a new post will be born.
