Ready, Get Set, GO!

So there has to be a time when I stop reading everything in site and actually start writing. I have all the abilities to start. I have all the abilities to finish. I love to revise and edit. Why am I not starting? Like right now. I'm not doing anything. I thinking about going to Target to pick up a few things, stop at the book store and look around, maybe hit the library too, but why don't I just write? Why don't I re-read what I've already started? The first step is to just sit down and start it. The next step is to open a file and start writing. Well I'm sitting down. I'm in front of the computer, but there are so many other things to do while sitting here. Do I really need a laptop to write? Do I need to research Mac's or use my Ipad or use my HP laptop I just bought for the boys? What to do? What to do?

It's  frustrating. It's such a huge undertaking and it starts with just one step just like anything else. Do I focus on writing magazine articles? or just jump right in to the novel? What is the best path? Is there anyway to really know?

No there isn't. That is the only thing that is true. There is no one way to find out what will work for me until I just start writing. I have all the tools. I don't need any new books or computers to write. All I really need is to have read a lot of books (check), a pencil and paper (or a computer) and I'm good to go. So Go already!
