A new beginning?

Thank goodness for my writing group is all I can say. Yesterday one of the members, Debbie, asked me for the address of my blog as she has decided she wants to start one, too. Do you think I could remember it?? How pitiful is that!! But it did remind me that if I'm going to consider myself a writer, I should be writing. It's SO easy to not write. I can think of all kinds of things to do instead, even things I don't like to do, like cleaning out a closet. Procrastination is my middle name. I know why I put it off, however. I resist sitting in that chair and facing the blank screen because (a) I always think I have nothing to say, and (b) it's hard to write. I do understand that often one has to just start and write nonsense if one must, until something real, something truthful, perhaps even hurtful, emerges. It's a discipline that I have found very difficult to cultivate, but maybe this time, I will! Thanks, Deb.
