I have loads of things around the house 'unfinished' that I must try to tackle. As for writing it is best just to start something, anything - it can always be altered later or even scrapped - to give a boost of confidence and to get your work started:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743811530506483434.post-54117624177904693152009-03-25T00:33:00.000-04:002009-03-25T00:33:00.000-04:00Thanks for this post.

But I'm afraid I hardly ever find myself without something to say. <BR/><BR/>I am one of those who speak first and realize what I said after. So I guess that puts me in the "action first" camp. Sometimes I need to stop and think first. I have seen my hubby do a double take many times after I said something he was surprised by. <BR/><BR/>Great conversation all. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Teresa you sure do come up with some very nice quotes. You must read books of quotes too."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743811530506483434.post-35242595671506392122009-03-24T13:42:00.000-04:002009-03-24T13:42:00.000-04:00Weaver: That first step is surely the hardest!Laur...Weaver: That first step is surely the hardest!<BR/><BR/>Laure: Great quote!!

This applies to so many things in life.<BR/>Where writing is concerned I always find that once I have got going I can write away - it is the getting started that is hard.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
