My own writing has been buried again. Don't get me wrong, I write miles of comments on student papers and assignments (which I enjoy). But, my own writing has slipped past me.
I use myself as an example of how being overly busy can be just another form of procrastination. Certainly, procrastination is not the only reason I am teaching. I like teaching, and I like making money (more than I currently make publishing anything). Teaching makes me feel helpful and money makes me feel like I matter (We won't go into the psychology here now. We don't have that kind of time.) Writing can be hard - even when we like to do it. Some day I like writing. Some (most) days I ignore my muse.
My muse is getting impatient and rolling her eyes at me. We all have a muse you know. Things that inspire us. Your muse may not push you to write, but all of us have a muse; we may just choose not to listen to him or her.
Happy Writing!
