I'm ready to write again

and my last column was titled Free Parking with a stop sign logo

This morning during my coffee infusion, the name Hill Country Jezebel came to mind. Would you read that column or would you rush by in horror? My audience is bloody red Arkansas deep in the Ozark Mountains.

I'm looking to wake some of them up. Prolly get the house burned to the ground instead...joke .... I think.

tells me that the title is not so good. Thanks for playing! I'll keep working on the idea while I find a paper to publish.

I had planned on being a writer, but the collapse of the magazine industry and life had other plans for me.

The only way to start writing again is by starting to write. Whatever it is or whatever you want, write it. It might look like crap, but it'll look a lot better the 8th or 9th time you revise it. If you are serious about wanting to write a book, you just have to practice. Write something every day. Pick a time of the day convenient and write. Make sure you have no distractions. It will take a while, but you'll succeed.

The only other advice is to avoid self-publishing. That's just a vanity trap.

Original, no spam:

When I was in middle and high school, I used to read and write a lot, and I've always wanted to be a published author. However, at one point I reasoned that it would be better for me to put my life first before returning to writing, but the issue is that I have since forgotten how. I am unable to write anything anymore, and even when I do, the first two phrases make me grimace. I feel as though I am unable to complete phrases. I have a lot of ideas, but I find it difficult to focus on just one, therefore I often find myself with nothing to write about. I constantly thinking about writing but once I do I immediately feel like it sucks, then I get back to just thinking about it again.

Any form of advice would be highly appreciated.

I would read Hill County Jezebel, but would worry about your house.

This past year has been my year to learn what love is. My beloved has been so ill for such a long time that each day is a gift.

For awhile I thought things would go back to being "normal" but of course, there's no such thing and we didn't go back, except to various hospitals.

Maybe I'll feel the need to speak, but for now, I'm simply taking care of what is in front of me.

Thanks for having been a reader! I miss those days of thinking that there was a chance for change. I have become an apostate and don't believe in a single thing. That's some of what I want to write about. Faith and what it means. Hence Jezebel.
