Why can't I write interesting entries any more?

More than that, why can't I write dialogue any more?

Why is my computer telling me that dialogue isn't a word?

Why have I gone from loving Joyce to hating his very existence in the space of two weeks?

Why do my lungs hurt so bad?

Will someone just engage me?

Danke im Voraus.

You still have the ability to write interesting entries.

You probably still have this ability to, but creativity comes and goes. Don't force it.

Your computer probably thinks it's spelled "dialog".

It's possible to overdo Joyce. Too much of his work can hurt your head.

Maybe you should try meditating, focusing on your breathing.

Can't, I'm married!

De nada.

Ability but not the concentration.

When you're getting a degree in a creative endeavor, 'creativity comes and goes' is not an excuse for not getting your homework done. We kind of have to force it.

My computer is stupid.

Joyce (at least Dubliners) is simplistic but studied and analyzed to death in many lit classes.

Maybe I should stop contracting bronchitis/living in a dirty city.

There are several uses of engage: the one I was referring to is 5a in Merriam-Webster. "5 a : to hold the attention of." Besides, I never took you for a cradle-robber.

Oh, that last one was an attempt at humor!

I'm also not loving Joyce right at the minute. At least you're not suffering alone.

I totally just finished my paper. It's 2:30. I hope we do all workshopping and just glance over the questions today.
