Gonna be a Bear

I received the following in an email from a dear friend so I can't take credit for writing it; however, I agree with the sentiment whole-heartedly and that means it goes on the blog. Enjoy!



Writer's Block or Old Age?

It seems to me that every time I'm away from the laptop I have hundreds of ideas to blog about.  However, the moment I boot up, log on and sit down to write I seem to have nothing but air upstairs. 

Right about now some people I know will probably be making a snippy comment about what really goes on inside my head.  Those of you in the peanut gallery, please keep your comments to yourselves.

Seriously, I'm not sure if it's writer's block or old age, but either way I don't like it.  I have a little red notebook around here somewhere that holds ideas that I've jotted down.  It doesn't seem to help much.  Of course that could be because I spend umpteen minutes just looking for the darn thing.  When I finally find it I'm exhausted and not in the mood to write.  I've been told I need to carry my idea book everywhere.  I'm afraid if I do that I'll just have to look everywhere to find it after I've set it down one too many times.

Maybe I'll just pass on a daily blog and follow the best advice I've been given...when you have something to write about, write.  That's much more appealing than old age :)
