You know that sickening feeling of inadequacy and over-exposure you feel when you look upon your own empurpled prose? Relax into the awareness that this ghastly sensation will never, ever leave you, no matter how successful and publicly lauded you become. It is intrinsic to the real business of writing and should be cherished. ~ Will Self

This applies to my morning nearly perfectly, as I was wondering why I’ve not yet started on the many writing projects floating around in my head, much less sent the finished pieces out into the world.

I just had a lovely idea, though: One night per week at a local coffee haven or bar - preferably one with wi-fi - a group of us should meet, sit, and write. No sharing unless we want to, just a set time to DO IT.

An old friend of mine (”old” here meaning he’s known me since the early 90s) already does one in Albuquerque and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work here … so details via Facebook soon.

Let’s DO this.
