The Urge to Do Something

When one sits down to put thoughts on paper, or in this case words on a screen, sometimes it can be challenging.  Like there is something stopping you.

It might be that there is so much spinning around in your head, or there is so much going on around you it's hard to decipher what it is that you want to say.

Perhaps it's that you want the words to mean something.  To come out just right.  So that they can portray what it is you want someone, somewhere out there to connect to.  Or be inspired by.  Or not feel so alone.

I've felt this urge lately, one I've felt before, that I just want to write.  I wish I had the gift to sit and write beautiful words strung together like some of my favorite bloggers and authors.  Or create a melodious tune like some of my favorite songwriters.  To connect to readers.

Someday, maybe it will happen.

But for now, as I've said many times before, I will try to write here.  To hone my writing.  To try different styles.


Is there something that you've had the urging to do lately?  To write?  To draw?  To knit?  What is stopping you?
