For years, people have told me that I should write a book of my own someday. I guess the assumption is that having read umpteen million books makes me qualified to write one. I don't know about that, but I would certainly like to give it a try. Someday, I tell myself.
I've decided that there is no time like the present. However, I am a card-carrying member of PA (Procrastinators Anonymous). I hope that isn't a real thing, because I totally just made that up. Hmm. Maybe I should Google it, just in case??? BRB... Interesting- there were several websites that popped up on a search for "procrastinators anonymous". Most of them looked like online support groups. Just what I needed... another way to procrastinate!
Okay, so back to the point I was originally trying to make. It's really easy to delay getting started writing. There are all kinds of excuses I can make, but the long and the short of it is that it's a lot easier and more enjoyable to think about writing a book someday, than it is to write one today.
One reason I started this blog is to get myself into the groove of writing frequently. Having readers out there who expect to read new content on a semi-regular basis is one way to combat my procrastinating tendencies. I do better with external deadlines and expectations.
Right now, I don't have too many people out there reading this blog, but hopefully someday that will change. In the meantime, I have this post written, along with the start of another one. I began today's post by writing on a different topic, but went on a tangent and wrote this instead. Sometimes, tangents can be interesting and fruitful. Do not underestimate the power of a good tangent!
So, here's to hoping that someday comes soon!
