I remember learning about the adventures of Christopher Columbus and his trips to the West Indies. One of the problems he encountered was the lack of wind - the doldrums - when his ships entered the Sargasso Sea.
Well, as far as the thoughts of Johnny V., I have hit the doldrums. I still think about lots of things and I have the odd interesting thought. It's just that I don't feel any desire to write very much these days. My inspiration just isn't there. Hopefully it will return. It is as if the wind has been taken out of my sails.
I look forward to the days in the future when the gusts will pick up and I will feel the force drawing me towards my destiny. It just isn't happening right now.
It has been said that people have to suffer for their art. I find that my writing is quite the opposite. I write best when I have a zest for life and feel it coursing through my hair. That just isn't happening right now.

Hey Johnny..maybe you need to get another of those sailing teams together..I understand there is a lot of wind on the ocean...lol
On a serious note, we cant always have the wind to assist us...sometimes we need to get a motor going...you said you had a new venture in the future...and invited me to contribute in a sideline kind of way..so get that going..my knitting needles are idle..and there are a lot of cold puppies and cats out there....yep..I said cats. If you visit my facebook page, you can see my satisfied customers.
Sometimes we need the doldrums so we can restup for the perfect storm..lol
