I hate writer’s block.

So my goal, as I’ve stated, is to become some sort of writer. I recently had a session with a writing coach, and she gave me some assignments. One of those assignments is to keep a list of possible ideas of topics to write about.

I’m having such a hard time with it.

If I could sum up my problem, it would be this: I want to write political and cultural polemics, but I’m not a polemical person. I want to advocate for something specific, but it’s too easy for me to see both sides of an issue and not be able to decide where I come down.

This isn’t much of a blog entry or even a complete thought… but I wanted to vent, because I’m frustrated. How am I ever going to get out of a 9-to-5 office job if I can’t get anywhere with my writing?
