Writer’s block, fear of failure or just ran out of happy pills?

WOW!  Time flies when you don’t want to fall on your face.  Is it just me or do we all deal with these moment (or months) of paralysis?  I mean how hard is it to post on your blog- a blog that has NO READERSHIP!! (Haha! that was a good one). Well as you can tell getting this “blog thing” going isn’t a breeze for me.  I am going to make this happen, mark my words- …that was my Clint E.  impression, ( the young Clint from “Josey Whales” not old Clint from “Torino” but I digress).

I guess putting yourself out there in the space is a bit daunting, even if anonymously.  I’ve had so much to say but just wasn’t in the mood to get it all down.  I didn’t even know how I should start a post, I wanted the perfect title, the perfect words  but I got the perfect zero. Does that ever stop you too?  Not being “just right”?

So I’ve  been listening to my mentors on my MP3 player, getting motivated and  fired -up! So here I am posting. I’ve been reading some blogs and of course subscribing to them,  feeling that I’ll never get to where they are- but then again they all started somewhere.  Hell, even Forest Gump knew Elvis before he became the King!  I guess what I’m getting at is that this whole “perfect thing” is a stopper, so is this fear of failure or ( being ridiculed, not measuring up, unrealized expectation, or as Sonia S. says “feeling bad”).  It all ends up the same…ONE BIG ZERO!

I’m glad we had this chat.  If we do one small thing  just to get started, that would be more than a zero!  Maybe that’s all it would take .  So this post is my small step forward-into the abyss of potential failure or not, but action is GOOD!

Oh, and my happy pills sure came in handy!

I’d just like to thank Netflix for filling my spare time with extremely entertaining programs and movies,  it doesn’t beat using your time wisely but it sure makes the time go “bye”.

Bottoms-up! enjoy ur beer! KZ
