Stalemate

I suppose one of the most frustrating things is to have the urge to write... and then to sit here and be unable to think of anything to write! It's not that I have writer's block... I have a gazillion things flitting through my head and I keep tossing most of them aside as "improper" for a blog! And so I'm just going to write about that. For my fingers do want to write, but it's just to pick a topic. Sometimes I find that all I need is for someone to say "write about "this" " and I'm good to go. It's just sometimes difficult for me to pick something to write about! I toss ideas aside as being too small or too big or too something! Quite frustrating.

Part of the frustration too is that I am wracked by doubt... well, maybe wracked is too strong a word... but doubt snaps at my heels... Is this writing thing going to work out??? How do I know??? It seems kind of pretentious for me to just leap out into the world of writing... quite impossible I would say! But then, I guess that's the whole point of making a declaration like that... it's supposed to be impossible, to be something that has nothing behind or in front to support it... It's just out there...

Some people have asked me, what book I'm going to write next... Well, there is the Bible Blog... but that's about 313 days away from being complete! There is the preaching book... but that's a ways away as well. There is the grandfather book... but that still needs a lot of work and research! So many ideas... and all sorts of reasons and excuses why things aren't ready! Some of it real... and some of it... convenient! There is of course the possibility of more unsung heroines. In my sojurn through the bible, I am uncovering more and more of them... so there is that to look forward to... I just need to get out there and do it!!! As Nike would say... Just Do It!!!!

I seem to recall at one point you were interested in presenting a Theotidbit about decluttering and relating that to our spiritual lives. That covers two topics that interest you: decluttering and spirituality. Could be a good way to get started on a new idea for writing! Whatever you decide...you can do it!
