Fear: The Blank Page

One would think that writing would be as simple as opening a word processor page or flipping open a notebook and well, writing. For me it isn't. Take this week. I've picked up journaling again and, in another notebook, created a writing journal with a grid/calendar in it so that I can cross off the blocks of 100 words. That's so that I can feel like I am accomplishing something. I read a short book by an author about how he writes, imported his template into Scrivener to try, gathered highlighters and pens, ordered a new refillable highlighter...

Are you seeing what is missing? Yes, actual writing.

I opened the page once and it was so blank! It's ridiculous for a blank page to cause panic and yet, it does.

Also? Still blank.

Haha! Not any longer. I've made a start!
