Now, to tell you the truth, I am really happy that I write for this paper, although I have some feelings of ambivalence about it&#8217;s quality. Even so, I feel like my ambitions are still burning when I have this place I write for.<\/p>\n<p>BUT IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to write the review. It&#8217;s not that hard to do, normally. I just have felt under so much pressure. I felt completely incapacitated, like I oculdn&#8217;t write One single word. A sentence was too much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; you, my dear reader may ask. &#8220;You&#8217;ve just popped out several paragraphs right now, without a single whiff of agony.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed. This blog has no pressure at all. No discipline is required. There are more kinds of writing than one.<\/p>\n<p>I finally finished the review, and it was a scanty one. I said nice things, but i just couldn&#8217;t quite hit the 400 word mark.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t journalism supposed to be concise?<\/p>\n<p>Yikes. Well, I did finish it, and I did get the main points across. Some times, even doing the things you love, takes more effort than you can muster. Now that I&#8217;ve finished it, maybe i can beat back some of the panic that seemed to be overtaking me about all the things I have to do.<\/p>\n<p>I think I am looking forward to january already.  I think some things will ease off. I sure hope so.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I will get through it. I&#8217;ll be stronger for it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man, I haven&#8217;t written a thing in my blog all week. Sometime, it&#8217;s just too much.
