Writing Woes

Whos said "All the best laid plans of mice and of men . . ."? My plans to write more during the holidays flopped. My writing accomplishments include one essay, still in progress and soon to be posted, and that is about it.

With all the traveling, early morning and late evening work hours, finding time and inclination to write is more difficult that it has ever been.

Those are, of course, excuses, lame excuses, that I need to extinguish. There is always time to write if one wants to badly enough, and I need to want to write more than I have been writing. I need to need to write.

How does one motivate one's self? We are all different. Yet the goals are the same. Write. It is like a walk on the desert; you place one foot in front of the other or you die. In writing you put one word after another or your creative side dies.
