Doodling

I wonder if a writer's block can last a lifetime. You see i feel i am half-decent when it comes to writing, but when it comes to writing i am also like one of those fountain pens which have dry ink and gunk plastered on the nib, which just makes dry scratchy noises when it tries to write.
Notwithstanding that rather pleasing analogy, i must say, there are times when i feel that i can only speak, that too in very controlled circumstances, and never write well. Maybe i can be like Socrates who had declared that he would never write, but then i need a Plato who will do so on my behalf. Maybe i just need to start podcasting, but that's a chapter that still has time to begin. Right now i will only try to write these moronic posts as often as possible so that at least the ink doesn't run dry. My brother feels that to be good at writing one needs to write a lot, and often. That's true i suppose, again to return to my analogy of the pen. The only way to make that dry rusty pen start writing again, you first need to doodle and scribble a lot.
That's the gameplan now, "Float like a butterfly" before i can "Sting like a bee" i guess.
