Write Michelle, Write!

I can't believe two months have passed since I've written a blog post! You'll all find that with me, it's feast or famine.

There are days I no sooner lay my head on the pillow and I have to get right back up; my mind a flood with ideas! Flooded so, that I couldn't sleep even if I wanted too. Then, just as swiftly as they came, the ideas are gone again; and months can go by before another idea pops into my head.

Sometimes writing the simplest thing is like pulling teeth. I love to write and when this sort of thing happens, this writers block, it really frustrates me. It's so weird! But, then again, it's me we're talking about and lets face it, I'm just weird in general.

I thought today that I would force myself to sit at the computer and write a post. Maybe, just maybe that would shock my brain back into writing. It's worth a try anyway!

So, this is the result of an experiment to try and inspire myself to write again. Can we inspire ourselves? In some ways I think it all boils down to my view of my life. I just keep asking myself, "What is so exciting about my life. What am I doing in my little corner of the world, that the rest of the world could possibly want to read about?" There in lies the rub!

I guess what I need to do is write for me and my enjoyment. Maybe in doing so I will unwittingly bring enjoyment to others. Yes, that is a good way to think about it.

So go ahead! Write Michelle, write!!!

A side note: My favorite way of putting thoughts into words is by using an IBM Selectric Typewriter from the 80's! Sure wish I had one. I remember those from my high school keyboarding classes. Loved them, especially the sound!
