I am going to talk about writing today.
It seems as if I'm never going to write anything unless I sit down and make myself write, because I don't normally have things I itch to write about. It's not that I have a shortage of things to write about; almost everything under the sun is fair game and I'm not one to be paralyzed by lack of guidelines. It's that the very part of my personality which allows me to thrive in such an open land is the same part that has me doing a lot more dreaming than doing. That's one of the biggest challenges I'm faced with in life. Dreams* are awesome, and they are essential to guide your actions, but without actions, they're just not worth as much. Even if your dreams are of fantasy worlds that can't be made into reality, they're still worth more if you write them down and share them. It's just a matter of doing it. I'm not in the habit of doing it, so I'm not going to feel like doing it no matter how much I want to. Heavens' Crossroads is a good example of this. I made that site and then I posted faithfully every week for four weeks, and then I stopped for some reason and now it's been three months since I've done anything there. I even have page five mostly written out. I just need to go back and push it into my habits again.
So what causes the difference between actually doing something, and never doing it even though you know you should? I'm sure someone has figured that out, but it seems like most people never do, and I haven't yet.
I'll come back and talk more next week--or maybe later this week-- after I get back to Heavens' Crossroads.

*I'm talking about daydreams, not the kind of dreams you have when you're asleep.
