I've had writer's block for 51 years. Make that 45 years - it couldn't have been writer's block when I didn't know how to write. I have a friend, Sue, who has been blogging all month long and, as I read her blogs I think to myself, "I can do that!". But then I don't.
So here it is. Day One.
My son Dylan, a 5th grader, has to write in his journal for ten minutes every day. His journal is full of interesting stories and true life experiences. He may not realize it, but his journal is something that he will treasure years from now. I would like this blog to be the beginning of something that I will treasure, too. As I become more and more comfortable with this whole blogging idea, maybe I'll get less and less blocked.
Oh my gosh! I'm so excited to see this!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! You CAN do this! You saw my blog, full of typos and rambling paragraphs and sentence fragments. You are certainly capable of AT LEAST that. hahaha!
You're right about Dylan's journal - and this will become yours. You just have to push past feeling self-conscious. Just write.
I was in Garden Ridge last night and I was talking about you. Remember when we just sat there on the papasan (sp?) chairs? That's what this will be like. Just picture us sitting around chatting at Garden Ridge, sharing what's happening in our lives.
This will be fun!
