You know what they say when you’re thinking about doing something, but don’t know if you’ll do it?
Tell someone. So I did.
I told Dan there wasn’t really a reason for me not to write. So I need to keep going. I don’t quite know how much, how often, but I know that I need it, that I enjoy it, and I hope that it will come to be helpful, entertaining maybe.
What I want to write now is much the same as before, but with some additions. Short stories. Travel writing. Science fiction. Poetry – possibly. Picture books for children (with someone else doing the pictures). I’m including in that list some food writing, and some ‘topics to help’ others blogging. Facebook is no doubt still in the mix, too.
Looking at the list this morning, it feels more daunting. But I figure I only need one project at a time, and I can see where it goes.
Trying to think of a title for this post, I had the notion of someone playing solitaire, turning over the cards one by one. Face up is both agreeing to face writing, and turning over the first card to see what it is. Then it begins.
And hopefully, in time, there may even be similarities between the cards; a pattern across the whole. For now, I am willing myself not to worry about that, but to turn the card, and start to write.
