Writers Block

I have let everybody down, I said I would update and post more articles more often, and what happens? Almost another month since my last post - disgusting! I am ashamed of myself. This isn’t really an article, rather a gripe unto myself.

But in my defense, I am a IS major and writing isn't really my foray. It’s actually very difficult to think new and innovative articles and when I eventually do come up with an article I deem good enough, I seem to take forever to type the final result. I really admire those who do this for a living.

Subsequently, as a result of my - writers block is what I think they call it, I find it very tempting to steal a few ideas from other articles I have read. After arguing long and hard with myself about the ethical and morale values involved here, I have decided that writers write articles with the aim of provoking thought in their readers minds and I feel it would be an injustice to their talent if I do not act on this and add fair comment on their articles, you know say what I think about the idea raised.

So although I try to think up my own ideas, I sometimes give into laziness or just a damn good article and will rather render a commentary.

Yes I know this has been a very boring post, but it’s my blog and can do with it as I wish. I’m just letting you know that if you read an article that sounds familiar to you, that I’m not plagiarizing, I’m just adding comment.
