Intermission

I want (desperately) to post on this blog. Flooded with ideas, I'm struggling to focus. What I need to do is stop thinking so much and just write. Write.

In part I'm plagued by wanting what I say to stand up to a self imposed standard. "It's got to be good", I tell myself. An overwhelming need to produce at my peak, to write my best does nothing but push me into paralysis.

"I'll write later", the voice inside says. Procrastination is alive and well in my soul.

I find myself pondering a potential post and sinking into weariness considering all the seemingly important background facts or figures or data or proper recollection that need some research;  any one of number of other details which spoil the spirit of writing.

Here's my resolution: Begin again and ignore the background noise  that wants to disrupt what could be good stuff emanating from my screen.  Hit the publish post button. Just go with the sentences longing to be free.
