It’s 7:15 P.M. and I am just sitting down to write. Today was a day of working on all the projects. I finished emptying out my old room and moved the rest of what’s moving into my new room.
I figured it was a good time to go through all my clothes and reorganize my draws. It was a bigger job than I thought to would be, took me most of the afternoon, and I have more to do tomorrow.
Since we are down a Sunday morning worker, and since I have Carrie Hackett preaching this week, I am taking my turn to sit with Mom tomorrow morning. I will be watching the service from home with Mom, and of course folding clothes to go to the Salvation Army.
I am tired now. Mom is really anxious to have me sit and watch TV with her. My heart has been telling me I have to get back to writing, but it’s hard. I used to be so disciplined at posting everyday, at taking at least a few minutes to practice jotting down thoughts and spinning words. I used to be so diligent about reading and building community. But I have fallen away and coming back is not as easy as I hoped it would be.
Over the last several years I have tried several times to start back to daily writing. All my attempts have ended in failure. It’s time to try again. Maybe I will end in failure again. But I have to try. This meme popped out at me the other day.
It made me decide to try again. Writing is hard. Not writing is hard. I am choosing my hard.
Notes From the Vicarage 
I like your writing but I don’t really understand this need to have to write every day

It is something I used to do. I have two books written one has been professionally edited but then life changed and ever since I cannot seem to find the time to get back in the rhythm. I played with the idea of becoming a professional writer at one point. But like playing piano or playing soccer if you don’t practice you get rusty. I am far beyond rusty. I do miss the writing everyday like a gym junkie longs for a workout. That said I can’t seem to get my rhythm back.

ok, I understand. Then you must find a regular slot. Easier said than done. I am sure I would be a better writer if I practised more.

Don’t get me wrong I treasure my life now. This work that I am doing is so exciting, but I miss writing regularly and I miss the blog community I had built as well.

yes, I get it. I also feel a sense of community with the few people I know who read me. sadly I know I have readers who only very occasionally admit to reading me – it’s always lovely when they do, but I thrive on (positive) feedback

That is one of the neat things I found about blogging. The sense of community that was built was wonderful even across the vast distances of life there was a certain sense of camaraderie in it. I am looking to regain that.
