Forgetting To Write

oday I was journaling and realized that it had been three days since I had last journaled. And, I had not noticed it till I sat down to write today. I could not say that I avoided journaling. I simply never remembered to do it. Life happens. And we have to roll with the punches as I said yesterday. So I won't beat up on myself for missing my writing, but I truly was delighted to be hand writing in my journal today. Only with the writing did I experience how much I had missed writing yesterday and the day before.

I have made it clear in Overcome Writer's Block Easily that it's important to keep writing. But that's if you realize that you're going to stop writing, or you're thinking about stopping writing. If you haven't written, it's best to just move along and not look back… unless stopping gets to be a habit. Then the lack of writing will need to be examined so you can move on. But keeping the action going is THE most important thing we can do in writing… and in life.
