I think the key for me is getting back into my writing. It is very time consuming and I get so caught up in it that I don't even watch the clock. This morning (after reviewing some other people's poetry on the site where I post my work) I wrote two poems and started to write a short story and before I knew it, it was 1pm. Then I took a bike ride at 2pm after I ate lunch. We went grocery shopping and now it's after 4 and time for my afternoon walk. If only I can have the discipline to sit down and just let the words flow and not be constantly judging everything like "That isn't any good," or "Why did you use that word?" I guess that's what the second and third pass on writing is for, but I get all critical on the first pass. Anyway, I think I'm going to make it today. Thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone. You guys aren't alone either.
