I took a week off from my writing to catch up on some things that needed to be done ASAP. Like, um, my taxes for 2007. Whoops!  But, hey, they *owe* me money, so I’m just hurting myself…

Anyway, now that it has been 7+ days since I’ve been creative, thinking about writing again seems scary and overwhelming. This is why it’s important to write almost every day if you are a serious writer. Because your mind will play tricks on you. It will tell you that you really aren’t that great. That you should just wait another week and let that idea stew some more. That the new episode of “Top Chef” that’s sitting on the TiVO is really more important than writing 2000 words.

But I do need to get writing. I have a book that must get done as soon as possible. And it will be a heck of a lot of fun to write. I have the very beginning of it. A few pages. And it’s fun so far. So why does it seem so intimidating right now?

I must fit it in to the schedule today. And then next week, I’ll tell you more about my little project. I don’t have any idea what the blurb will be, since I’m not quite sure what the book will end up doing…
