Pamela Slim May Just Have it Figured Out!

Reading today's post on Pamela Slim's Escape From Cubicle Nation today struck a nerve for me. I venture to say it even struck a chord. A whole chord of nerves. Pam not only speaks to me in my recent endeavor to kick my ass back into regular yoga and exercise practice, but also in her very compelling outline of how getting back on the treadmill (so to speak) is akin to the practices to use while escaping the day job.

Here's what I know. Lucky me, I know I really want to write. But what on earth would that be? I know I enjoy writing creative nonfiction. That is extremely broad. So what do I do? Freeze! Nada. Zilch. Void. So sad...so empty. So not proud of myself!

Her section titled "You aren't crazy if you panic while trying to get started" definitely did the nerve-chord striking on me. Go ahead, follow the link above and read her rockin' article. Basically, she recommends writing "drivel" if that's what it takes to get started. Wow. I never thought of that....

She may just totally have this whole 'picking-one-foot-up-and-putting-it-in-front-of-the-other' thing figured out! Let's hope. I'm committed to trying this.
