Help
I've known it, but now I've had to sit still long enough to face it. I'm not writing because I'm scared. It could take a book in and of itself to talk about what I'm scared of. But I'm scared. So I'm going to sit here some more and keep trying to not be scared enough to write.
I guess that the closer I get to what I what this book to be, the more scared I get, the more exhilarated and paralyzed I feel simultaneously. Does that make sense? Instead of forcing myself into the chair, I'm finding excuses to distract myself - volleyball (which I'm enjoying) and boys (an old standby favorite distraction of mine).
So basically, I just need a good spanking, most likely. :)
