I long to write but never do
It occured to me today how I am always thinking about how much I would love to be a writer, I am always thinking about the things I would love to write…but…I never actually write them. So I guess that makes me more a thinker, or a procrastinator who thinks about not procrastinating.
I saw a writing competition that I would like to enter, writing a ghost story. I have written down my initial idea and that is as far as I have got. My head stopped there. I think there must be a groove in my brain somewhere where all my thoughts get stuck, all piled up upon one another squabbling for space. If I could just dig it out the trench and free all the stuck ideas and thoughts I would have enough material to keep me going for quite a while.

Hi there
I know it is sometimes difficult to find a way to write on anything that comes to mind, but the blog is a good way to start that process. The real art is to write something every day. This will lead you to a position where your writing and ideas skills will continue to develop until, one day, you will find yourself in a position where a novel, short story or any other writing piece, will not be so daunting.
Your comment on our blog proved that you have the ability. Also, if you wish to be linked to a site, which is free to join, but where you can write about almost anything, I can send you an invite to it. The upside of this is that you can earn a little pocket money on the site at the same time.
Keep on trying
the Brit

Hi,
the Brit is correct, as usual. The more you write, the easier the process becomes.
Thanks for the link, and I have added yours in return.
