It's not enough to simply wish for our thoughts to materialize in written text on a computer monitor or on a sheet of paper. Also, writing should be fun, it should get the creative juices flowing and ultimately, we should derive great satisfaction in its production. Let's not forget, that sometimes the chores of our everyday existence, do not allow us to take the time we'd like to enjoy the writing, so we must do what we can, when we can.<BR/><BR/>The privilege of keeping a blog, is the symbol of one of the ultimate constitutional freedoms we still enjoy in this country, so I say, let's keep it going, no matter how long it takes to get inspired in writing something to publish in it. We can't be so naive and think of ourselves as writing machines on demand, that can churn out endless sentences about some subject, and feel the obligation of writing just because there is a blog and therefore we should fill it continually with something, otherwise we'll feel guilty about not doing it. No, absolutely not! That's the wrong reason to either have a blog or to write anything in it.<BR/><BR/>Your blog most definitely belongs to the "first group" you mentioned, as it touches on "important issues affecting us as members of society". I consider myself a member of society, and as you see, your blog has made a difference in me, it has made me react.<BR/><BR/>And now, I'd like to invite you to participate in your comments about the Witte Museum's exhibit of the human body, found in the Escritores SAT blog.<BR/><BR/>See you there, and in the meanwhile, keep a stiff upper lip.<BR/><BR/>AndréAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
