Wow, it’s certainly been a while since I’ve posted here. Initially I didn’t because I really wanted to focus on writing and not writing about writing. That worked for a while. Then life came in and gobbled up my writing time. Then I felt guilty. Then work got insane, so I didn’t feel so guilty. Then I really wanted to focus on writing and not writing about writing.
So. Here we are. Since work started to settle down I have, in fact, been writing a bit. Some personal journal-type-stuff, some work on the book. Which brings us to the topic of the day- why writing feels so damned good.
I’m not really sure what the chemical reaction is that goes off in my brain, but there really is nothing like sitting down with a blank screen, and putting my hands on the keyboard not knowing what will come out. Since putting up the wiki I’ve been much better at focusing and staying with one project, but sometimes it’s just such a treat to open up the floodgates.
It feels… cleansing. Even this post, which I had a vague clue about feels good and I haven’t said a single thing of note. This reminds me, my favorite thing about Wordpress is that there is a button up top, where you can always see it, that says “Write”. It’s awfully nice to be able to click that and have it work.
