Lately my mind has been completely blank. Devoid of any original ideas, creative stories, sparks of madness. Trying to write is tedious, almost painful. There is nothing there. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada.  So my vacation comes at a very opportune time. I can recharge the batteries, take a break from life and get a new perspective. Hopefully when I return next week, my dry spell will be over.
