If the blank page excites you, makes you feverishly grab a pen and start composing, this blog isn’t for you.
I want to share my experiences with the sweaty palmed, distracted day dreamer who wants to write and is intimidated by the blank page. Been there? Okay — first things first. Say something — “I don’t feel like writing today –I’m tired — I need to call the bank” — write it down.
“I don’t feel like writing today, I heard the tone in my partner’s voice — condescending and disbelieving that writing has any value at all. Well how did I end up with this guy anyway — he is so non-supportive, non-communicative — what is it that keeps me coming back for more “tone”?
See……….I told ya so ……………….. just write something and your mind will open and you will be talking about what is holding you back.
Okay, pick “I’m tired and I’m really worried that I need a mammogram and have been too stubborn to get one. Why haven’t I heeded the advice of my sister and gone…..
See…….I told ya so……………… it’s in there and you need to let it out.
Okay, “I need to call the bank — actually I recommend going to call the bank, stop blocking yourself with mundane worry and then come back refreshed and ready to talk about what you will do with all the money you get from blogging…..
