Because Writing is Exercise

I hate writing. I really do. I also have to do it.n It's how I communicate best and how I sort out all the stuff running around in my head. Much like when I don't exercise I feel lazy and unmotivated, when I haven't written in a while, i feel disorganized and uncentered.

The first paragraph is always the hardest for me. It's much like the first mile of a run. I just want to stop, turn around and walk back to where I started. Same thing with writing. The first paragraph always looks like crap to me, but I know I have to plug through it and get to the second paragraph. Once I get there, the worst is behind me and the words will flow much more easily.

I feel like I write one of these stupid posts every time I have an extended absence from posting to this blog. It's probably an accurate feeling too. First mile down, now time to start getting back into the habit.
