Stirring Dust

stirring dust, originally uploaded by brookeshaden.

A few minutes of reading first thing, to whet the noodle.

Some coffee to wet the veins.

Some tunes for the flow of the soul.

I light a candle.

I get up and go to the bathroom.

How about another cup of coffee?

Up and down with the OCD.

Maybe if I turn around ten times to the left --- then touch my toes?

Every day that I sit down to write, I go through an hour of theatrics.
It's that damn little voice!
"I can't do it."
"I have nothing to say."
"It won't be good."
I am a two year old having a meltdown in the cookie aisle.
A cat in the bath.
My body at the gym.

And I really know better! I know that after an hour of creaky, crappy tapping at the keys that a miraculous limbering takes place, I get entranced, and it all spills forth.

But here I whine a fret another morning.

I should be chomping at the bit! Yesterday, I completed my outline. The bones of the book are in order! I can put on muscle now!

....................and I am not.
Cuz if I wrote something good yesterday, today will surely be a disappointment.
Right?
Okay... enough procrastination by blogging!

Namaste,
C H E Z
