Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words. -- Mark Twain

I have tried to write more lately.  I actually woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago plagued by a story.  I couldn't get the story out of my mind.  So, I pulled out my laptop and started typing.  The result will be posted here on Friday.  It may not be great, it may not be good, but I felt like I needed to get it out my mind and on paper (so to speak).  I feel like I have a ton of stories floating around in my head.  But I stubble when it comes to creating what I think is a polished story.  If I go back over a story, I started agonizing over every word.  And I give up.  The editing gets to me.  It always throws me off my commitment to writing.  With this new endeavor, I am trying to not pay attention to the words once they're out of me.  I just start writing.  I don't think about how it all goes together.  I just go where the story takes me.  Hopefully this will allow me to get the stories out.   They may not be perfect but they're my stories.

So yes Mr. Twain writing is easy.  It's just all those pesky wrong words that get in the way.
