Having done two “real” blog posts in a row and having at least two more pretty good topics to work with, I just sat here staring at a blank piece of paper and thinking in a vague sort of way about pulling out a book to read. What’s that all about?
I’ve been busily working on my novel and writing blog posts for a number of days now (14, if I’m counting correctly) (um, that is to say, 14 on the novel. I would need to go back and look at the posts to see how many stupid ones were included) (but you see my point).
Where was I? Ah yes, when the writing is going well, you think it is never going to end. “Ah, I’ve got it now,” you say. “Obviously this is the secret: JUST KEEP WRITING. Why didn’t I think of that before?”
And then, of course, it ends.
That was when my break ended. I spent the time till the next break (my job gives me lots of opportunity to think) reflecting on how I can always seem to write about not writing. I spent the next two breaks working on my novel, thus rendering another post on Not Being Able to Write a little hypocritical, to say the least.
I can hear one of you now saying, “So just write your blog post now, what’s the problem?” Well, that’s what I’m doing! I declare today Wuss Out Wednesday. I don’t have too many of those, and I may not have a Lame Post Friday this week, because I have an awesome Mohawk Valley adventure planned for tomorrow (preview of coming attractions).
My only sticky wicket now to how to avoid making tomorrow another Non-Sequitur Thursday. After all, can’t do too many of these silly posts.

I like this one especially because it is about the challenge of writing. Which, much of the time, I have a challenge with. Now I feel I have used “challenge” too much. I envy your ability to open your mind and let the free thought go. (Or maybe you planned it to sound like stream of thought writing) …in that case, well done. I was able to do that a while back, but somehow have lost the freedom. As always, I am inspired by the amazing Cindy.
I did not plan it to sound like stream of thought, but it always seems to turn out that way. Works for a blog. We’ll see how my style pans out for a novel, if I can manage to finish this one (oh, I am SO going to try!). The most freeing thing I ever read about writing was in I THINK the book “On Writing” by I THINK Dorothea Brande (I thought I had all my writing books right here! Grrr!): a mere fragment of a sentence: “the difficulty of writing AT ALL” (emphasis mine).
