It Only Takes One Line...
I've been thinking lately that I need to get one of those books for writers that gives you an opening line. I love to write, but it seems like I never have time - there is always something more important that needs to be done. And as I'm washing the dishes or taking a shower or folding the laundry my mind is whirring away. Unfortunately, when I finally have a minute to get some of those thoughts onto "paper," I sit there and stare at a blank screen. Suddenly, I have nothing to say! All those deep (or not so deep) philisophical thoughts suddenly take wing and fly away. Just in the time it took to boot-up my computer and for Google to decide that they didn't want my phone number after all (just as well, I didn't want to give it to them), my mind has become and utter BLANK. So, I think I will go and buy one of those books. All I need is one line to get me going...

I feel the same way Rachel. Once upon a time I really did write and then life happened and I've lost it somewhere along the way. Not sure a book would work for me though. I tried the whole journal jar thing and I couldn't write anything.
I usually am not a loss for what to write, but I too have no time. It is a guilty pleasure for me. You might notice I don't even have time to journal or blog either. When I got married, Rex thought I hated to read...until I was forced to sit down to nurse a baby and then I got to indulge in reading all the time! Now my in-laws can't be convinced that I love to read -- I envy them sitting in their rockers all day every day doing nothing but reading!
