If they can do it...

A wise writer once said to me
"There's no such thing as writer's block.
Only writer's embarrassment."

Words to live and write by.

The truth is out there... some of it is even in my blogs.

Deliberate Practice

Ok, I want to get back on the writing bandwagon pretty badly. I have so many ideas lingering in my brain that need a good home in a story.

I can give a whole list of excuses as to why I haven't been writing, starting from dead laptops and ending with no free time. But the odd thing about time: you can always find it when you really need it. And everything else is just excuses. No one to blame but myself.

So I am going to build up one good writing habit at a time. First habit:
Regular time writing. Doing a 10 minute writing exercise of some sort. Every day. If I don't have a computer, I will do it on paper. No excuses. EVERYONE can find 10 minutes somewhere, no matter how busy the day.

I will aim for early morning to start with, but will allow myself the option to figure out the optimal time to do this on any given day. But I want to aim for as regular a time as possible. Habit is everything.

I may or may not be posting what I do (assuming it's done on a computer) here. Haven't decided yet.
