Sitting Here Waiting · 27 September 2025


Well, here I am waiting on the day before my blog preview with nothing written so far. (Except the words of the last sentence.)


If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you probably know that I release my blog post on Saturday, but I give a preview on social media (Facebook and X/Twitter) on Thursday. My #ThursdayThoughts post. It works for me. Usually.


Usually, I write my blog on Saturday and get it all ready for viewing. Meaning that I grab a couple pictures and format them for my blog. With the writing and editing, it usually takes about an hour. Or so.


Then there are the times when I get up late or have something else pressing to write. Those are the weeks when I am scrambling to get a blog post out on Wednesday and Thursday in time for my social media preview. It is not a fun time. Even though I am just working up against my own self-imposed deadline. But it is okay. I just giterdone. (Is that a real word now?)


At any rate.


Now, if I was a person who believed that I need to wait for inspiration to strike before I wrote, I would have very few, if any, blog posts. I mean really. Who has the time to wait for inspiration to strike? Not I, said the frog. We need to just write. Like I am doing now. No inspiration. No real plan. Just write. The words will come.


Which is the point of writing, I guess. You just write. The words are not going to wait for you. And you cannot wait for the words. You just need to write. And write. And write. The words will come.



Now, if you are like me, the words might not make any sense when you are done. But that is okay. Every blog post is practice. Even though they count. In other words, whether you are a seasoned writer who understands that the words will flow when you turn on the tap or a novice trying to think of what to write, you gotta sit down and write. Period. Even if it is gibberish. Look at me. I have been blogging since 2006 and still just have a few friends and faithful readers to show for it. Which is okay. Like I said a few blog posts ago (or maybe more), I write for an audience of One.


Well, I am not sure that I accomplished anything. I did not solve any world problems or say anything profound. But I know that I have met another self-imposed deadline. Even if my post is filled with drivel. Ah well. Getting these few words out on the internet is better than just sitting here waiting.
