It's Almost the Witching Hour

It's late. I'm tired. I sat down earlier today to blog but got distracted by something. Can't remember what. This is the story of my lack of writing discipline. I am easily distracted. It seems almost anything, everything, is more interesting than sitting down and writing. This is not an uncommon problem for writers. There are some who refuse to sit at a window to write because they know they will soon be daydreaming about what's outside rather than trying to fill the blank page (screen) in front of them. One writer said the hardest part of writing was nailing her butt to the chair in front of the typewriter. Once she got that accomplished, the rest was easy. Flannery O'Connor said something like she didn't know if inspiration was going to arrive each day but she sat down at her desk to be sure she didn't miss it if it showed up. So I'm sitting. Waiting for the Muse.
