Admiring My Work

(Disclaimer: my comma key randomly stopped working so no commas in this post...please don't think I'm an idiot)

Well lookee here...two posts in one week!

Maybe I can get back into this blogging thing again after all. Don't hold your breath.

This year I've been working on being a better housewife even while I'm working. I've made excellent progress. I've had some major setbacks in this department due to not being capable of managing my own stress. Overall I've made improvements though.

I've done all my dishes every night this week so far. I did a MAJOR spring cleaning project last week on my spring break which helps me stay on track. I'm hoping to keep a tidy home even when crazy busy and tired.

I've also been improving in my school work. I have all my papers graded for tomorrow and it's only 9:14 pm. Woohoo!

So...I've been perusing old posts of mine. I'm pretty wordy aren't I? Oh well...that's just me.

I'm not really sure what the purpose of this post was...I'm just babbling on about laziness and writing like usual. Two topics never far from my mind.

I'm Scared of Writing

Soooo...that whole "I'm back" thing...

I'm scared of writing. It's true. I've taken countless writing classes. I majored in English education. I've written a lot over my short life. But I'm still scared of putting my words on paper (or computer). It's like I'm afraid that I will look foolish to someone or that I will break one of the ever-changing grammar rules.

I absolutely love writing and really enjoy reading my own work (most of the time). I just hate the feeling before I actually let the words flow. It's like the feeling I get before I do a somersault or before I wax my eyebrows or before I jump off a diving board or before I let my husband crack my back or before I walk into a party or before I try on a new pair of jeans. It's torture before I start...but I'm always glad I went through with it in the end.

I think about writing all the time. I tell my students to write all the time. I tell them when they're stuck to "just write." Why oh why don't I take my own advice?

So, I'm really going to work on this whole "fear of writing" thing and get back into blogging. I started this blog so I could write publicly. Probably should get back on that.

So, if you haven't totally abandoned my blog...thanks for hanging on. I'll try to be better. No promises though. Because I might break that promise when fear strikes.
