The school year is finally over and as an added bonus I get to enjoy a couple days of rest while my work schedules undergo their usual summer changes. I have had a full day off today and I get one more tomorrow before the hours pile on between my two jobs for the rest of the summer.
While it's nice to relax for a while and just kick back, I feel like I should have done something slightly more productive today. Earlier I went for a walk, read, serfed the internet, and watched TV, which is all well and good for a full day off. But I was thinking that maybe I should have, you know... written something?
This is my problem. I have all of these ideas and certainly a strong desire to write, but when the time comes to actually start I get a little nervous. Even lazy. Alot of us who write know that getting started tends to be the hardest part, but unless I am forced to start something for an assignment, I stare at a blank page for a minute then go and find something else to do. It's just too hard, so I'll slide out of it by convincing myself that there is something much more important that I should be doing, like cleaning my room or catching up on VH1's "40 greatest reality TV moments." That's information that we all need to know in this day and age, right?
I will not make any promises to myself (as I have done many times before), but I want to put an honest effort into writing again. Even if it does turn into flightly little glimpses of stories spewed out on a blog, it will be something. Not that I made this blog with the intention of posting my work on it; I tried that once before and I gave up on the story as soon as I had started it. But, tid-bits of things could pop up here and there.
I'm still not really sure what this blog will end up being about. The title implies a writing theme but i'm sure you (whoever my followers will be eventually, I have none yet) will get a range of different kinds of posts.
It is now 6:20pm, the day is getting older but there is still plenty enough day to enjoy. I might end up reading to get the gears in my brain going again, and hopefully tomorrow I will use the day to do some writing.
