there are days when the blog strays very far from original intent. These are the days when I fight to write and often lose the battle. The blog is meant to make me write daily—ten minutes that belongs solely to the craft.

I can write anything I want so long as it is all that I do for that stretch of time and so long as it is exactly ten miutes. Therein lies the problem. Often I type so slowly that I spend more time trying to think up what to say than I do of the actual saying. These blogs are slower, iloften lacking real substance or a central theme.

it is Th en like writing itself. The good stuff doesn’t always come but every day you try to find it. I keep trying. I keep putting out these blogs ten minutes at a time.
