Probably the most helpful text that I read about writing comes from Anne Lamott. It helps me turn off the inevitable soundtrack that begins to play in my head (you can't write, you've run out of ideas, this time it is going to flop).

My family and I went to an amusement park near us today and I saw a guy with a shirt that said, "Embrace the Suck". I have absolutely no idea what the shirt was referring to but I was really close to asking him if I could take his picture because sometimes I really do feel like writing means embracing the suck.

Your first blog was filled with the spirit of beginnings. Day 1 is an appropriate title. I just came home from an amazing experience-having my first grandchild so I decided to write blog post and poetry so that little Sierra can one day look back on her journey into life. Now I am off to write blog #2.

I'm like you- I love a new beginning. My school year is almost at an end, which means the beginning of summer and also time to dream about the new school year beginning.
