Like a pig in mud...

Lately I have been reading a lot of wonderful writing. It refreshes me and makes me tap into my imagination and grow stronger as a thinker and writer, though I don't write very much at all. By simply e-mailing a high school friend I am now able to read about the fascinating happenings in the lives of people I may never meet. My mind sometimes wonders to them and I think about what they might be doing at that moment. Writing is a true passion that I do not pay enough attention to. Books are like candy and the more twisted and extraordinary the better. People fascinate me. I have always loved to just sit and "chew the fat" and talk about things that one doesn't talk about at work and with their spouse or loved ones every day. It's necessary to unload once in a while and let your story be told. I have a story that I need to tell. This is not the correct forum. I am constantly searching for the way to begin my story. How am I going to get it out there, what vehicle will come to me and help me get it out? I often think that today will be the day that I start writing but, then I sit on the moment too long and the phone rings, the baby bonks her head or I'm not motivated enough. There are a lot of factors that keep from from writing but I use them as excuses. Once I begin, it will be more work to keep going and as it stands today, I don't have the time. When will the time come? Maybe it's all a sign that I should wait. Maybe the story is going to get better and isn't ready to be out yet.
Ramblings? Yes.
Unnecessary? No.
