Writing Thoughts 

i am but a small dog, shifting with the sun to chase the warmth of its rays through the window within the confines of my freezing office

voices by house of heroes 

an analysis

(i’m sure these things have been noticed before but i was thinking hard about this song in the car earlier and wanted to rant about it so here, have a rant) 

thinking about the lyrics to this song and specifically the second verse, the lines that go 

“in a graceless world i was graceless / i’m just a murderer cuz murder was my only chance / though I’m wretched i am not faithless / the ears of God hear everything / and He hears them still / every cry (every breath), every lamb that i’ve slain / just to save myself / how can God show mercy? I was merciless to them” 

Getting Started

So . . . getting started. 

People always say that starting a new project is the hardest part, and the thing about that is, they're right. 

Getting started is tough. I've written novels, published stories, and read and edited enough introductory paragraphs to know how true this is. 

The idea will be sitting in your brain, chomping at the bit for you to get it down on the page, and then the instant you try to start typing, the words betray you and you find yourself staring at an empty screen. 

If you've ever had to write anything, you know what I mean. 

Starting something new is daunting. It's scary. Doubts and questions swirl around in your mind as you second guess everything, as you wonder if you're even cut out for this writing gig. You stare at that cursor, blinking incessantly like a child trying to get its mother's attention, and the pressure to start, to put something on the page just builds and builds. 

But then you take a breath, close your eyes, swallow, and just start. 

And all of a sudden it's like a floodgate has been opened. 

Or maybe it isn't. It goes both ways, and there's no way of telling which result you'll get until you try.
