December 2 - Writing.
What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
I worry. I worry about little things and perfectionism, and I keep them all bottled inside my head until they are so mixed up and so deeply ingrained into my consciousness that I can't possibly put them into words. Or, I don't have the energy to put them into words. Worrying is exhausting.
Mostly, though, I think my mind just operates this way. My mind is always going, and I don't always have the patience to slow it down enough to sort it out. I'm not sure I can eliminate that. Although, what I can do is keep answering questions and prompts like this. These things force me to make some sense. I can also learn to be at peace.

I'm caught up on your blog! You're in Nicaragua...so you won't see this for a little while.
I liked this entry. A lot. I'm half convinced writers write because words ARE NOT enough. Because the right words are difficult to come by. Finding the words becomes almost a spiritual.
