I know, we never use the term ides except to talk about the Ides of March, but it means the 15th of several months, including July. So I decided to make a graphic because I couldn’t find one that did this.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m having trouble writing, but I can play with images.<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one of the things I’ve learned over time is that if I play with enough images or download ones that speak to me – they do something in my head that helps me write. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who have trouble writing sometimes maybe this is something you could try. In fact when I get around to writing that book about having trouble writing, I am going to put this in for a suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I used to do and the challenge is helping with that is when I was supposed to be writing my thesis, and that was a long time ago, I had the issue of not being able to sit and write it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything was done except the writing – so I sat at a friend’s typewriter in her office late at night and I typed something like Mary had a little lamb on line after line after line and after a time of doing that words started to flow that had something to do with my thesis, which was psychology and a research project I had done. I finished the thesis and I got my PhD – so it worked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what this challenge reminds me of – I’m trying to put words on a page almost every day whether they’re published here or they are texts to a friend of mine about why I’m not writing. I am trying to put words out every day just like I typed Mary had a little lamb because I know from past experience that sooner or later the book about not wanting to write a book is going to get done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when I think about it, I have now written about two behaviors that one can do to start writing. Yay – I got two parts of the book done!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

that calls for another image!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
