Ummm.. Oh yeah, I forgot!

There’s one in every class. You know, kindergarten, first grade– usually not past that age, because kids figure out how school works by then. There’s always a kid, or two, who puts his hand up whenever the teacher asks a question, throws his hand up in the air, straining to be called on, quivering with the desire and energy of it, and when the teacher calls on him to answer, he says, “Ummm… oh…. yeah… I forgot!”

Yup, that’s me. I hopped on the blog bandwagon, all excited about starting a blog, and, well… I forgot. Life just keeps getting in the way of blogging, doesn’t it? I read blogs, and I think about blogging, but I just don’t get to it. I have tons of blog posts stacked up in my head, so many that putting them all down just seems overwhelming, and I give up.

One of my favorite writing books is Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott. If you know it, this will make sense. Her advice is good for blogging, too, eh? Blog by blog; just take it blog by blog.
