The P Word

I sat down to write, and started many sentences only to backspace them letter by letter into oblivion.

Procrastination is the thief of time. ~Edward Young

I want to write. I truly do. I put it off until I have time.

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform. ~Edward Young

When I'm going about my days, I often think about things I'm doing, or observing, or hearing, or tasting, and consider them as I would if I were to write about them. And then I never seem to do it. As does work for idlers and reform for fools, my thoughts onto paper is never accomplished.

I'm not sure why. I used to write quite often. There has been a portion of me that has dried up a little. A portion that does not care to be vulnerable.

And I find myself mourning the loss.

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done. ~Author Unknown

Perhaps, this is why. Everyone who knows me, knows that I work well at the last minute. I like to plan, and I plan early in anticipation, and then I get sidetracked, and put off the inevitable until it REALLY NEEDS ATTENDING!

I need a goal.

So, without further hindrance, I am hereby resolving that I shall write, even a sad attempt if need be, every day for one week.

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing. ~Eva Young

We'll see how it goes.

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it. ~Olin Miller

Starting tomorrow.
