Motivation for Writing

[The divulsing continues...]

I stare at a blinking cursor, hating sitting here, frustrated at my failing brain. Why can’t I think of a single good sentence?

This is the epitome of my writing life. And sometimes, so you don’t throw in the towel, though it sounds so good, you need motivation, a pep-talk from an elder to keep you going. So sometimes I read this, Ben Myers’ thirteen theses on writing, as if he is talking right to me.

But often my gullibility fails me and I don't believe that Ben Myers is actually talking to me. In this case, I have to pull a king David. I encourage myself.

Ben Myers for the New Year

January 1st seems like the perfect day to write a blog-post. Too bad I depleted any and all creative magic and intellectual muscle while writing my Action Project for Hebrew Prophets (ew!). So, go instead to Ben Myers blog and enjoy his latest, Why pray?

Praying seems like a good way to start off the new year, no?
