Yikes!

I abandoned my blog. I heard it crying in the next room, calling out to me. It said, "I'm lonely, I need more words. Why aren't you writing in me?" What could I say? "I'm busy. I'm tired. I don't have time." But all these usual excuses don't fit. Besides, they aren't really honest excuses when it comes to writing. When you're a writer, you make time to write. And every time I apply for another writing job, they ask, "What's your blog address?" "Uhhh...there's not much there."

Being a professional writer has its ups and downs. I end up writing what the client wants, but not putting enough time into what I want to write. I guess this brings me to my next set of words: commitment, creativity, and intention.
