Here we are, after 8:00 p.m. — the time I usually begin to wind down — and I still haven’t written my blog post for the day. When am I going to learn to listen to my “little voice?” Every day, it tells me to write first thing in the morning when my brain is functioning at its relative best. 🙂 Needless to say, I don’t always listen.

The good news is, I’ve been pleased I’ve kept up a daily blog for almost two weeks. I’ve been successful with my dual intents to (1) exercise my writing muscle and (2) smash the mental walls that often cause me to stare at a blank screen as I think of what to write. Sometimes I’ll write a sentence or paragraph, then erase it because I worry what someone will think. This leaves me to once again stare at a blank screen. Still, after these thirteen days, I definitely feel my writing engine has been lubed and is running more smoothly.

The bad news is, though I’ve written a blog post every day, it’s kept me from working on my memoir, which was the real intent of “unfreezing” my writing.

So, now what?

• I still plan to write every day.
• Some days, I’ll write a blog post.
• Some days, I’ll work on my memoir and will perhaps share an excerpt.
• Some days, I may only share a word count, just to keep myself accountable.

Now, new plan in place, it’s time to put my jammies on. 🙂
