This is where I write about writing. I find it hard to get motivated to actually start typing, so I will challenge myself to record ideas here.

A writer that doesn't write is a ____
Sometimes I feel like a sham. I think about writing quite often, and have never finished a damn thing. It makes me feel vulnerable. Even if it's all fiction, I'm confessing my thoughts to the world anyway. Without getting too much into the introspective or theories on writing, I just want to take a moment to say that I really think writers should write. I mean, as much as possible. I like to do a lot of different things. I can confidently call myself a cook, a knitter, a quilter, and even a gardener (even though my plants are dying) because I've tried it and either failed or succeeded. But I found out what I was capable of by trying. I understand that NaNoWriMo is a great goal for those with self-discipline. It took me nearly a decade and I'm still not finished with that quilt, so maybe it will take a decade to finish the first story I'm concocting. If you read about two posts before this one, I stated that I wrote 13,000 words in four days. I think I could do that every week. If I don't get distracted, that is.
