Starting One More Time

"I don't know what keeps me from writing. I love to do it. I love the process, yet I sit down to the screen and find all kinds of things to do that divert me from writing. I surf the net (my greatest procrastination technique), play Scrabble on the desktop, read the news, and pointedly ignore the Front Page icon that would force me back to the story I'm working on and the Word icon that might urge me into starting something new. I tell myself that I want to pursue a side career in writing, but I don't take the steps to get me there. I know what I need to do get to my dreams- write, but for some reason I don't do it. I seem to be my own worse enemy. I don't understand it, but I'm not going to go another day, another moment, without trying to do better. This is my first stab at turning this thing around."
