Off the top of my brain

Day 95

I can’t imagine being a newspaper columnist, someone who is under a daily deadline and must come up with fresh, witty, and provacative columns that engage thousands of readers. Talk about stress! I have enough trouble writing something half decent for this blog every day. And that’s less than 50 days in a row at this point.

Much of what I write is spur-of-the-moment. I’ll open up the browser to WordPress, stare at the blank white box for a bit, and then begin typing whenever a little seed of an idea takes root.

And, tada! Suddenly a blog entry appears!  

Thanks to those of you who check up on this site regularly. The writing is fun for me: it’s good mind exercise and good discipline. I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I (usually, most of the time, almost always, except when I have really bad writer’s block) enjoy writing it.

Onward.
