So Rich, So Embarrassed

I have an embarrassment of riches right now in the form of opportunities to write. They're coming with the most flattering comments about writing I've already been doing, too. So it makes sense that this morning I would wake up and have not an idea in my head about what to write here. I am, it turns out, a little bit frightened by these wide open doors. I have a lot of plain old thoughts in my head but mostly they're about scheduling those things I've committed to write (and about the sharpness of the claws on the cat kneading my bare thigh). No one wants to hear about what you're going to write, they just want you to write it.

So today I'm going to walk my dog and have brunch with my friends and write all those things I've promised to people for the coming days. I'll come back here and let you know where they are when they get published. In the meantime, I'm thinking of you and I'm counting my blessings.

  1. I'm sorry - are you ME?! The SAME EXACT thing is going on in my life right now, and I haven't a clue as to what to do about it. I looked back on my blog this last week, and it's stuffed with stupid lists and memes. I need to write something, but I'm not sure where to start. Sigh...

  3. Funny, I have the same feeling. I have a writing opportunity at work AND I am in the middle of an obsession about a subject on my blog. Your writing is so good - I know we'll get to see what it is all about.

  4. I can't believe I've been so bad at blog reading these days. I came back to 30 posts from you in my reader!

  5. Whoa, Gypsy. I am so going to suck up your day if you try to read all of that. On the flip side, with that many posts I feel like you'll find at least a couple that you'll really like.

  6. This happens to many people as this is just the thinking, you should change your thinking to write efficiently. If you need any help regarding this then it will make me happy to help you.
