Reason and Excuses

6/14/2011

 
In Ruth’s recent post, she asked about the reasons and excuses that keep you from writing.  

Reasons

Slow, slow writing
Swallows huge blocks of time;

Terrible time management
wastes needed opportunity;

Questioning doubt
paralyzes the ideas;

The notion-belief that your
offerings are not as good as;

Illegible handwriting that
devours thoughts;

The everything that is more sparkly
to the procrastinator.

I think we all have the self doubt but you just have to jump in, splash about, and make merry with the words. (I don't know who said that, but I really like them.)

I like your honesty and can relate to that. I feel that not the tasks that I have to accomplish but I (skills, habits, feelings, and thoughts) am the greatest obstacle for my writing.

I would add to this list technology - especially all those mailing lists that I have signed up for and then I get to tripping around the web and soon my time has vanished and I have not written one word.
