Sherwood Anderson once said the hardest part of writing is putting the seat of the pants in the seat of the chair. Boy, did he get that right.
Once upon a time I wrote a lot of copy every day. Sure, it was only TV news copy, but at least I was writing. Even after I left TV news I still wrote freelance magazine and newspaper pieces for a time.
But for at least the last ten years I have been a complete slug. I have written next to nothing of any length or worth. Hell, I haven't even written anything for this stupid blog since May.
It's time to shake off the sloth and get busy again. I'm going to force myself to blog something daily--or as close to that as seems worthwhile.
It's time to stop being a fat, lazy slob. Writing won't make me lose weight, but it can help me to be less lazy.
