in the excitement of learning how to embed videos, i replaced words with moving and talking pictures. it was an easy way to update, the low road if you will, and it led to the lie. i thought i was ready to write, that the words and time would just appear, and i could get into the habit once again. i boldly claimed to be back.
lies.
and i don't know if i'm back now. i have plenty to say. i have drafts sitting around, collecting virtual dust, losing real meaning. i have stories to tell about speakeasies, a wedding, inaug. but i'm missing something. time? motivation? a book deal? okay, kidding, but really, when do thoughts, plans, intentions become words on the screen?
the clock starts now.
"i always knew that for myself i had grand plans and that my plans were grand. My problem was I did not have my grand plans planned. Now all that lives inside of me wants to scream and be free. Watch me fly. This is my moment- won't let it pass. My life is calling- moving too fast. I'll seize my moment- just watch me fly. Living, always learning as the pages in life keep on turning. Imagine: Always living for these precious moments of our lives."

This is a bigger conversation for another time, but it's something that I understand all too well. The only quick answer I have to that question is to go back and read your old posts. If you're glad they're there for you to re-live, then keep writing.
There's any number of other tips and tricks that I could recommend, most of which I've found don't work very well, but it really comes down to that bottom line of all creative expression: do it to satisfy yourself and hope other people come along.
