the trails of a struggling researcher

Have you ever sat in front of your computer, put your fingers on the keys ready to type away, and nothing came through? Or read so many books, articles and still not been able to formulate a sensible, researchable question? That is my current dilemma as I attempt to construct several proposals for various projects, all due in the next few days. And in the midst of attempting to be productive is the fear and worry associated with watching my country Kenya go to the dogs in the space of a few days, over the inflated egos of the country's political leaders.
