I see any kind of writing, from blogging to song writing to fiction as practice... So I'm wanting to do it all – more. And better yet, I never feel guilty because I didn't write this or that.

I've done the same thing - except when I commit to doing it or dedicate time to doing it. And it's like knitting (my hobby) - the more I do it, the more I want to do it. And the little writing things help (like blogging) because it's not as ominous as a novel - but it's a bridge to get you writing. Thanks for blogging! You’re right.

It's another thing I've learned in relation to this – knowing what works for you. It's why I've started a blog, why I write songs, why I still write journalistically and why I pen fiction. I have all those choices to dive into when I WANT to write. My muses help tell me WHAT to write. And it works. I think that’s a wise approach, Rob.

Loading so much pressure onto our backs as we try to tell our tales. I have found that I cannot force a writing of any size. If the words are not ready to come, the characters not quite ready to develop, or the story isn't stepping up to unfold, I have to walk away. Honestly, I will fall asleep sitting up at my keyboard if I am trying to force my words anymore. It is the weirdest thing. If the muses aren't ready to work with me, I must retreat and try something else until they are. It’s true, we are often our worst critic.
