So in all the writing I have done over the past few days (other than here, two major assignments that I’m slowly dragging my way through), it seems that I have reach an impasse in regards to a review that I wanted to start a couple of weeks ago and kind of forgot about and am now trying to write but am having trouble with due to having what I think might be the best opener, descriptor and closer all in one sentence that is comprised of no more or less than ten words, and that annoys me somewhat.

It annoys me as I want to write more about the item that is being reviewed and I’ve managed to sum it up much better than I thought I could with so few words.

Maybe I’m just really attached to the sentence and don’t want to admit that I am, as it will mean that I will inevitably have to write more about the item that is being reviewed, although either way I will be writing more as I’m sure that I can say more.

Perhaps the sentence manages to encapsulate everything that you need to know about the film and is brilliant and eloquent in its form and design, revealing everything and leaving everyone wanting to know more.

Perhaps I am overthinking this far more than I need to, should stop writing about other things and get to writing about the thing that is to be reviewed, get it out of the way and move onto other things that I need to take care of that require much more attention, such as the two large assignments that I still have to work on completing to the best of my ability, although it’s more likely that procrastination will take over with it’s iron-clad fist and dominate my desire to get stuff done.

However, I think that the ultimate reason is that it is fear.

Yes. Fear. I fear that I will surpass that sentence comprised of only ten words and then I will not know what to do, feeling emotions of success and defeat within myself.

Fear is a  powerful feeling. It drives people together and apart, starts and prevents wars, and drives us to overcome our perceived shortcomings.

It can also stop us from working on something, for fear of success and having nothing to do after completion.

Fear can drive people to do plenty of odd things.

It is fear and nothing else at all that prevents me from continuing the review.

Perhaps I should throw in the towel and leave the review incomplete. It might  be the best course of action to take in this path, for success might just open paths that I am not ready to travel.

Perhaps I should stop pretending that it is fear and admit that I was looking for something to write about right now as I haven’t finished the review as of yet.

However, that would be revealing the grand truth.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 08:18:65

There’s other stuff that I do want to write about, but this somehow took precedence even though I wasn’t too sure as to what I was going to write when I started writing.

It’s ridiculous, so I’m happy. I think.

Written at work.
