You might notice from some of my book titles that I have very varied tastes in books, including some specific to the writing art...actually, I just love all books. Maybe I'm not undisciplined at all. Maybe I am just not good at recognizing what I really like...perhaps I just love books in general and I just think that I want to write. Maybe the fact that I want to write, and not that I need to write is the true answer here or maybe it is just that I get bored easily. Hmmmmm.
At this stage in my life, do I really even care to solve this mystery? Absolutely not. I kind of like being undisciplined and not always having a planned agenda of my life. Perhaps one day, I will finish a book and it will be just for me. In the meantime, I will continue to be just happy, undisciplined me.
I am always looking to be the best that I can be, so if you are also an undisciplined shmuck....I'll take any ideas you have on improving!!
All The Best,

Love the part about being undisciplined! I am approaching 63 and enjoy thinking that this is a great idea! I think I've earned some of that. Good thinking!! Thank you.

Hi Anita, set aside a couple hours a day to write. Make it important. If it becomes important to you....all your feelings will change.
I do computer journaling (writing) almost every day of my life. It really helps me to clarify my thoughts and feelings on anything.

I have never desired to write but I feel the importance of journaling and leaving a record of my life to those who come after me as my ancestors did for me. I'll leave the writing of books to others who can spell better than I! ;D
Here is what I think :
*Don't worry about these feelings- it just makes the feelings worse.
*Just write- don't worry what it is (You did today with this post)
*Just read-don't worry what it is-
and give yourself the freedom to get rid of books that are not you anymore (sort of like clothes,right?)
It is all good-

Chuckle! I so relate to this in some ways. The ladies before me said it well ... I'll put this into my book (chuckle) to remind me.
Have a lovely summer's eve ~

Your book shleves look like mine...a real variety in taste....
I'm pretty disciplined when I take on something...in fact, I tend to be obsessed. I do understand about the writing. I never wanted to write and then I spent 3 years on what was a writers website and got the "bug". So, I took a class last summer to see exactly what was involved in writing a book. I knew almost immediately that it wasn't for me. I don't want my writing to have to be "perfect". I want to write, but I want to sound like me when I do it and I really like having written conversations with people. I knew after my class that I was much more suited to blogging.
