Gone Hunting

The less I write, the harder it is. Way back when---when I posted three times a week on this blog---the posts just flew right out of my finger tips. Whoosh. I'd noisily pound all over the keyboard and voila! It was done.
But as other responsibilities have taken over, my time devoted to creativity and writing has lessened. Now I write a blog post here only every other week, and my fingers are no longer flying over the keyboard. No pounding. No whooshing. I just sit and stare at the screen. Every once in a while a soft, slow…click, click.
I think the biggest reason that it is harder now is because I’ve got so much to talk about. I mean, a bunch of things have happened since I last visited with you. I’ve started new projects; ideas have been brewing; I’ve tried lots of new recipes; things are happening! Of all that---what should I make the subject of this post? Which one is the most interesting? Which one do I have the best pictures for? So much pressure! So I sit here and stare at the screen. Hmmm….
Okay, here’s the deal. I’m just going with whatever pops in my head. Not the best. Not the most interesting. Not planned.
Just *pop.*
Oh no, oh dear, so sorry, oh my goodness...
