Let it be known

That I am terrible at "free writing." Has the world of education and work so destroyed me thus far that when faced with a blank page and free choice of topic, I cannot find a damn thing to write about in a coherent and skillful way? Or have I reached a point where I write like a damn politician, without ever making a statement, but rather arguing both sides until I am blue? Perhaps I am so used to research papers that I feel the need to present compelling evidence and cannot state a damned opinion.

And apparently this makes me angry, hence the use of "damn" throughout.

Perhaps I do need to start creative writing again. Maybe the activities will help build the atrophied muscles.

Next few blog postings will be attempts at "short essays...reflective of...ideas, thoughts, concerns, and interests around the idea of critical museum pedagogy." I swear I am trying.
