the thing about writing is...

...sometimes it kicks your trash [or if you're me, a lot of times]
...sometimes you really don't want to
...sometimes you don't have anything to say

That last one still freaks me out a bit. If you're a writer aren't you supposed to always have something to say? But you know, I'm coming to the conclusion that having quiet mental time, when things stop racing around your brain and just settle, is a good thing now and then. It can help you organize, reevaluate new ideas, look at current WIPs from an objective viewpoint.

And sometimes...I tell myself those things so I feel better about being lazy...

Sometimes writing just sucks and it kicks your trash.
Sometimes your husband reminds you that you are a good writer so you'll stop freaking out.
And sometimes - the best times - that writing that kicked your trash is loved by the people who read it.

I know I'd love to have that all the time, but I'll happily settle for sometimes  :)
