Just Write!

Another Friday the Thirteenth is upon us... Are you scared? I'm not because I'm invincible. Seriously, have never broken a bone or had a cavity in my life. 

*Knocks on wood repeatedly while praying to the I don't want to have a broken bone or cavity gods*

Not to say that I haven't sprained my ankles or had a black eye. What can I say, I'm a klutz at heart. This is probably why I have never gone skiing or snowboarding. My tender head would be the part of my body knocking on wood in that case.

*Splat*

Well, where is this all going? I have no idea. To be honest, I haven't a clue what to write for today's post, so I'm winging it all the way. My first thought as I opened up a new post screen was Friday the Thirteenth. Thus, that is where I started. Now, I'm all the way to the very word I'm typing right now. Granted, by the time you read this word it will have been hours, maybe even days or weeks after my fingers have plucked the word out on the screen.

But, alas, I think I have a point to all my ramblings:

When you have no idea what to write...

JUST WRITE!!!

See, I didn't know where to take my blog post today, but one little idea has actually turned into something that really has writing value to it. Something to help all of us crazy authors escape from icky writer's block and move forward with our stories.

Anyway, currently, I'm doing some major revisions on one of my books. Instead of stewing over how to edit it and staring wide-eyed at the computer screen, I take a proactive approach by going for it. Just Do It! I write. Take out what I don't like. And go over it again to make sure.  

Because, guys and girls, I'm determined. I WILL be published. And with every click of the keyboard, I'm one letter closer.

So, my advice on this not-so-scary Friday the Thirteenth is:

JUST WRITE!

*BAM* *POW* *BANG* or *BOO*

What are your thoughts on this subject? Or you can talk about Friday the Thirteenth. Or whatever you feel like writing because all you need to do is WRITE! And your comment will start to flow. Or story. :D

Writing. Jewels.
