With summer coming to a end and school going full force, I find myself with so many things to do and no idea where to start. The garden needs to be put to bed, the horse barn needs to be shoveled out and the dogs are feeling abandon. I think I have lost my motivation, mojo.  As  the days grow shorter so does my attention span.

I have been trying to think about what to say in my blog.  I have no idea, I keep hoping if I just keep writing something will come my way and I will have an amazing idea.

I wonder if this is how students feel during writing workshop.  Do they have writers block?  Are they stumped with all the mechanical issues of writing? Are they writing and rewriting or editing because they're not comfortable with all the conventions of writing? These are all questions that I would love to have answered.

As a writer or at least a blogger, I have to say, I feel like everything I write is being judged or graded. I feel like all  of  my inadequacies are showing. I feel so, exposed. The feeling is raw and I unpleasant.  I know the only way to become a better writer is to keep writing, so that is what I am going to do.
