Paralysis

Since my last post, I've spent quite a bit of time on e-blogger, clicking the "random blog" button, as well as searching for other writing and poetry blogs. What I've found has both astounded and humbled me. There are many incredibly talented writers here in Blogville. In fact, they are so talented that, over the last few days, I've felt paralysis creeping around the edges of my desire to write.

I can't allow that. Instead, I've chosen to imagine that these gifted individuals are all creative writing teachers, English teachers, and/or published novelists. I've chosen to try and silence my self-editor. I've chosen to be inspired by others, rather than intimidated by them.

So give me just a minute as I crawl out from under this blanket of inactivity. Ah, there, that's better....
