So, writing has not been coming easily to me of late. Editing, sure. For some reason, that’s working out just fine. But creating?

I’ve been on a block. An emotional one, I know. For the last 11 months, I’ve been running away from what I feel because feeling one thing can lead to feeling something I’m not ready to deal with just yet.

This isn’t to say I haven’t cried or mourned or loved or even hated anything. I have. I’ve also had mood swings like a damn freight train, to be honest, lol. But writing requires some huge access to all those emotions and I guess to date, nothing has felt safe.

But, it’s time to face it. I want to write. My mind and my heart want to write. And so I’ve made a commitment–along with my friend, Heather Rae Scott–not to have a specific word count. But to write. At least once every day, for at least ten minutes. We need to get our discipline on. It’s not a nano, we’re not trying to tear up the pages. Hell, we’re so in need it’s a task just to open the damn file.

So that’s what we’re doing. I’m putting my accountability here on my blog for the next 30 days. So, I’ll be back later today to account for my minimum of ten minutes and my word count for the day.

Wish me luck & feel free to join in!
