johnpalmerDang it, this will post BEFORE the later one. Oh well.
"Blank page syndrome" was the title, where I was talking about bad feelings about life right now, because of a problem that is really the same thing as "blank page syndrome".
If someone handed you an outline, and asked you to flesh it into an essay or report, you wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem as if you sat down to write the same essay or report. The blank page is so full of possibilities that it's threatening. Especially if you have to do something, and do it right.
My life is like that... full of possibilities and I don't know where or how to start. And, the reason they can be frustrating is that I'm already a bit underwater, and I need to get out, so there's a sense of urgency that's not normally present in 'just' blank page syndrome.
Anyway... that's the point of the title.
