So I finished the 15 for 15 contest, I posted an entry ever single day, and I'm so proud of myself! But, like I told myself, now I don't have any excuses for not to write every day.

Why is it supposedly so hard, not to sit down and at least half an hour continue from where you left off yesterday? It doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't even need to make any sense, but for goodness' sake, at least keep the gears oiled and in good shape! I didn't even feel that creative or that motivated every day either, but at least I produced something every day.

Yeah, here I sit and sound righteous, and do I follow my own advice? Nope, uh-huh, won't even keep my blog up-to-date! Oh well, I can only hope this has been the much needed kick in the arse to get me moving. We'll see - join me for more (either self-recriminations or slef-congratulations) at the same bat time, on the same bat station!

Despite of all the reminders, I haven't "found the time" to write in my blog. No excuses, just good ol' procrastination and avoidance. And fright.

I did enter the 15 for 15 contest, though, which was one of the toughest things I've ever done. It forces me to write, and I've had a major block for a few years now - this exercise will allow me to get those rusted gears running again. I haven't been able to even look at the other entries, I know it would wreak havoc on my new-found fragile confidence - silly, I know. I should trust myself and the process more, but it has been a long time.

I also began a story called "House" - it came out of nowhere, and I have no idea where it is going. At least I'm doing it, another thing for which I can pat myself on the back. How insecure I sound! It will get better, I know. It just takes time. And we all do have time, it is just how we use it that makes the difference. Now I only have to practice what I preach.. Keep the faith!
