a writer without a plot

writing every day, according to bird by bird is the best way to become a better writer. It's why I started this blog. Feeling frustrated and frightened. What a waste. or maybe not. I already squandered so many opportunities. Perhaps I need to start again with a morning regimen of writing at the library. Why am I not inspired? Why do I have nothing to say? What am I afraid of? I need to get into a writing program. Perhaps before September. But what if I'm the only one there without drive or inclination? Why do worse writers have more to say? oh, Fuck all.

  1. You write very well. I have also failed at the regular practice of it. I keep thinking "next week" (or month or year), then I'll begin. But then I lack discipline in most areas. Do it. That's what I tell myself (to little effect thus far). The month or so that I actually did write every day was pretty amazing. Then I got tired of my voice. Yours is better, I think.
