Hey Dr. Dea - it happens to the best of us, which I'm sure you know. Your story about the "boredom monster" said it all. "I learned to be a good reader and writer because I was bored. I became creative because I was bored. " So proceed like you're bored, and get those creative juices flowing. Write about a topic that really pumps you up. Or better yet - let us know what in your life managed to get in your way, AND how you handled it like the super star you are :-)
