After Seven Years

Jennifer Natalia Fink, my writing teacher, used to say to move pen on paper - keep writing, and if you can't write then doodle and just keep moving the pen for X amount of time. It's more challenging to do that with the computer because it's so easy to correct as you go, to clean things up, and not even admit it to yourself (a metaphor?). So, I'm using a solution for that (which I found somewhere online); I am typing in white on white, so I can't see the words. Later - for your benefit I'll clean it up just a bit, but for now it's free flowing...

Some bloggers write less because they have nothing to say. Some write anything that comes to mind. I hold back.

Gene Siskel once asked Phil Jackson why Dennis Rodman always missed his first free throw. Instead of giving an answer Jackson asked Siskel what he thought. Gene said that Rodman must have, for some reason, felt that he had to miss the first one. I think the answer often to why we do something or are in a certain situation is because we feel we have to be there.
