Blank Page

...it is staring at me, too.
It's a bout against a blank white space again.
Trying to give context to something I have felt, something I have thought about, something I have learned or realized at the end of the day.
Writing or the act of blogging again...it's a feat I have to conquer.
I have forgotten when this has started--this fear, this frustration to write something decent.
I have forgotten when I started to surrender against a blank page.

Like a cripple, learning how to walk again;
Or a scaredy cat trying to or finally facing her fears.

Storytelling

Think of writing, not as a job you have to do; but a medium to tell a story, to talk about something.
Writing is not the output itself; the stringing of words to create something is not the end-all, be-all. It is just a medium.
Don't just be a writer, be a storyteller.

Old Ideas Told in a New Way

Jose Carillo, for the most part, is right in saying:

One is an effective writer when he is able to tell about old or existing ideas in a fresher fashion.

**Random Thoughts on a "post-gimick" Saturday night. I hope tomorrow I can tell you about something else. Something better.
