Digital Journal Entry

Hello world!

I am struggling to write, and it sucks. It sucks a lot. I haven’t been writing too much while I travel because of a few reasons, and I will explain them now. First, I find it harder to actually access my laptop since it’s at the very bottom of my very big travel rucksack. Second, it’s so unbelievably humid in Thailand that I can’t do much work outdoors. Thirdly, I can’t carry my laptop around in my bag because I just sweat through my clothes if I do. It’s a bit annoying. As I type the reasons, I realise there’s quite a lot of them actually. I also can’t write because I’ve just been doing tourist things, like adventuring and going out to drink. I need to be a tourist, obviously, because I want to experience the culture and all of that cool stuff. If I don’t then what’s even the point of travelling? Finally, I can’t write because I’m stuck with writer's block. I am sitting on (or in?) a rooftop bar that’s pretty quiet and very pretty. I keep opening different stories, screenplays, ideas etc and I just have absolutely no idea what to type. There’s nothing in my brain. Even as I type this journal update, my mind is blank and I feel creatively empty. It sucks.

I read On Writing by Stephen King though! There’s a positive to this update. It was basically a writing guide and an autobiography mixed into one, and it had lots of cool ideas that I will implement one day into my one writing. It just won’t be today, because I have nothing to write about. Writer’s block isn’t fun.

Anyway. I feel alright. I’m still in Thailand, and while it’s a cool place, I’m getting more tired of it as I get closer to Barcelona. I’m very excited for a change of scenery.

Even as I write this little update, I just can't muster up any energy. I might go and watch a movie. Thanks for reading.
