Under two weeks since this blog went public and I am out of motivation.
I've tried at least thirty times to construct a coherent account of why this blog will most likely die out over the next few weeks but I just can't. Before I had a pressure within me: there were words trying to force themselves out, and I held them back. The pressure began to build until all manner of other words started to overflow into this blog. All I had to do was filter them and send them into the world. However, the pressure's gone, like a dried up water pump in some sub-Saharan village, except I suspect that the red cross will be less concerned about my drought.
Anyway, with no overflow of words, it's hard to carry on talking about anything and everything in this blog and it will most likely go into a hiatus for a couple of weeks at least. I flatter myself to think that some of you may have enjoyed the last 13 days. Probably you haven't but allow me this little egocentrism, will you? I apologise, therefore, to anyone who may miss this after it's gone. I shall certainly be among your number.
I suspect that I am doing the right thing here. It was terribly prophetic of me to call the first entry the Agony of Creation, because it turned into a little musical reference: Agony of creation II was subtitled "Back into Agony", as a subtle homage to Meat Loaf and his Bat Out of Hell albums (Bat II was subtitled Back into Hell) but now I've reached Bat III and the monster is loose my creative flair is beginning to wane. So I'll do what Meat probably should have: leave it here before I start turning out terrible work seemingly for the sake of it.
I may be back.
