Writers Block or Maybe Not

So it Friday, November 14, 2014.  I have now been blogging consecutively for 45 days.  It is hard to believe that I came up with that many different things to say.  And for the past 13 days, I have also been working on my NaNoWriMo project as well.  I am finding lots of things to say. But as I began to think about what to blog about today, I hit a wall.  I had Writer's Block.  I started and deleted several drafts before I began this one.

Yet the third time proved to work.  That is this version.  It is so hard sometimes to put thoughts on paper.  I want to be sure I am using the right words to convey exactly the meaning I want.  After all you can't hear my voice or see my facial expressions or hand motions to know what I really mean.  All I have is my words.  The right words convey exactly the meaning I want, while the wrong words can leave nothing.  I just know I have a lot I want and need to share.  At the same time, I am finding a desire to write that I never knew I had.

I always thought my sister was the one with the writing talent in the family.  I was gifted in math.  But as the years have gone by, I find myself spending more time writing or editing writing.  As Dennis attended college, I edited his papers for him.  I edit my children's homeschool work.  I edit my blog and various posts on various forums I am on.  I am surrounded by words. I can't escape them.  They follow me where ever I go.

What are you surrounded by?  Or what do you find yourself doing that you did not expect to be doing?  I hope you will share with me!
