“Sometimes
I lie awake at night, and I ask, “Where have I gone wrong?” Then a voice says to me, “This is going to
take more than one night.” Charles M. Schulz.
I found this quote while I was going
through my files wondering what I would write about for this blog. My middle of the evening question is a little
different than the creator of Peanuts. I
asked, “What could I write about writing now?”
And all I could see were too many
choices. And too many of anything can be
its own burden. When I am faced with too
many things I try to remember to be very basic.
The voice said to me “Write about the one thing that you have chosen,
because to pick from the possibilities, will take more than one night.”
One topic, one sentence, one open file
with words being typed into it, every day or as close to that as you can make
it, that is writing. Writing is an
action word.
