I have to write technical papers/docos for work and often find starting the hard part.. so learnt over the years.. just to start.. not to critique ... just to write everything that comes to mind and then I have something to go back and edit.. delete whatever.. but from there I am usually on a roll and work it out... I try to adapt this to anything that stumps me now.. just start... a pretend attempt.. and then the juices get flowing...<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend.. pardon my absence.. life's been a bit messy my way... ciao xxx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-56559117468705758802011-02-04T18:26:29.338-05:002011-02-04T18:26:29.338-05:00Thank you Sarah! :)Thank you Sarah! :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-10365539702228180392011-02-04T18:13:11.731-05:002011-02-04T18:13:11.731-05:00Your blog looks really wonderfully created.

I guess the problem with my writing is that I tend to "rant" and wanting to put the world right and wake everybody up to all the wrongs in the world. Plus, my best ideas always come to me when I really am not in a position to write them down...arrgghh! <br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it.

But another 'problem' I have is that since I started my blog, I have started thinking in posts. Do you do that as well?
