Blank page: the writer's worst enemy.

A sort-of-lesson of the day: the blank page is hard to turn into something else. 

I've been having a hard time posting on my blog lately because I am having a hard time turning the empty space in the new blog post page into a "real" post. This is also true of my fictional writing. Even though I have some stories started it is hard to finish the stories and some just aren't good enough to share. 

So, in order to get out of this rut, I am going to just post whatever I think of. I am going to think of a word or phrase or song and just write about it. We'll see how that goes, maybe I'll develop something else for my blog. A new direction, perhaps? Is there direction now?? 

My new years resolution: defeat the blank page. And how will I do this? Starting a blog with word of phrase three times a week, hopefully! Sheesh, already setting myself up for a miniature failure. 

Here's to 2011!
