Writers write

Made a new event in my calendar. It says "Writers Write every day". Set a reminder to go off every day around 2:00. If I want to be a good writer, I have to practice. Eddie Van Halen used to be practicing playing his guitar before his bandmates went out to party all night. When they came home late the next morning, Eddie was still there practicing. Thats the kind of dedication it takes to become good at something. And I want to be a good writer. Earlier this year, I was putting entries in my journal every day. I stuck with it for most of the first six months of the year. But since Ive gotten this cushy job, Ive not had much interest in it. Maybe just havent had a lot to say. It seems like if I just actually make myself sit down and start writing then Im ok. Ive had too much time on my hands the last month or two, and its led to some self destructive behaviors. Im never one to get bored. Im always occupying my mind with something. I would like to go somewhere with my writing somday. Write a novel, a couple short stories, a book. I have written a few. Earlier this year, I was going through my old stuff and transcribing it on my thumb drive that i was using for my journal. A few months ago I discovered this website. And the part I like about the public diaries is it forces you to write at lease decently, because people may read your stuff. And Ive gotten a cool "pen pal" (hey desert dweller LOL). What i want to start doing is pretty much like I have been, maybe follow my lunch breaks or anything else interesting that happens during my day, and just start to embellish a little here and there. Add a ghost story that I may or may not have made up, a confrontation that may or may not have happened the way I wrote it, or just my road rage incidents with idiot drivers. Im happy even when I write a little. Stick with it. Remember Eddie. RIP. Oh, and Charley Pride died today. Sad. Remember him well from my childhood.
