The Dad Has Nothing To Write

Posted on 08/13/202304/19/2025 by Mark

On Friday night, I stared at a blank screen for a few minutes.

On Saturday night, I again stared at a blank screen for a few minutes.

I was really hoping something would strike me to write, but that didn’t happen.

Usually, I can get something written even if it makes no sense to anybody. I think my brain is thinking about other things, and that is perfectly fine with me.

So, that is all I have.

With the extra time I have saved, I will start writing a new book review to be published on Monday or Wednesday.

Wait, I do have something. Yay and excellent.

This morning, Niko and I had breakfast at IHOP and then he did some shopping at Target. This was also probably the first time I have ever seen him eat everything on his plate, and he had a few bites of mine. Oh, he had cinnamon bun crepes, and I had the split decision breakfast, which is eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and French toast. At Target, he got a Lego car wash set, more sharpies, and a pillow. Last week when Nina went to Target, she got me a new pillow and Niko liked it. So, yeah, he wanted one as well. At first, he was looking at the fancy pillows, but then we found the less fancy ones. He also wanted a trash can for his bedroom, and at first, I was like why? His explanation was I make trash! I was going to get him one for $2, but he didn’t want that; he wanted a stepper one!

Hi, I am Mark. I started writing in 2011 about high school football, daddy blogging since 2015, and reviewing books since 2023. My writing style is unique, my sense of humor is a little crazy, and I’m not embarrassed to share any of it. You can email me at thedadspeaks@icloud.com.
