The Tyranny of the Blank Screen

Damn, its happened again. I had this entry all written and its disappeared. I mean I had it all written in my head but now poof! Gone. This is like the 3rd time in as many days this has happened. Explain this to me. Perfectly good observations,stories, what-have-you, just a jumble mess or not recognizable when I sit down to the computer.





Like yesterday. I went shooting with my husband. If you knew me, you would be laughing because I never in my wildest dreams thought that would be something I would be doing. I mean I was a feminist, a Brady bill supporter, an Independent that leaned Democratic. What was I doing with a gun? How did I get here? I had this whole entry mapped out until I sat down to the computer.





And Writing.com. I wanted to do an entry about how great this site and the much positive feedback I've received. But no one seems to give poor reviews. I have several poems/stories posted that are mediocre at best but if someone gave a constructive review, they would be better. I had a whole entry in my head that sounded better than this does.





And the cursor is blinking at me so I will wrap this up by saying, shooting was fun. I'm hitting the paper now and soon I won't jump with the first shot.
