the voices in my head

Been listening to a lot of David Sedaris stuff lately (Corey got me hooked on him) so I think that has been affecting the frequency of my entries. I listen to one of his stories, and I want my writing to sound that good, so I spend all day thinking about what I want to write. I come up with a couple of good ideas, maybe a nice little connection between the two of them, and starting cement-mixing them in my head.

But when the time comes to commit them to cyberspace . . .

I choke.

Or I write for an hour, play around with it, then get disgusted and post it to my "invisible pile of garbage" blog, the one that doesn't ever EVER get posted. And what ends up on my website is a big old goose-egg. Nothing. Zip. Where's Doug? He usually posts by now. He must be out somewhere, doing things with his life, creating a ruckus somewhere in the world. There must be a VERY good reason why he hasn't written to us today.

Okay, this announcement is addressed to the voices in my head:

Relax, guys. It's only a website. I'll write when I write, and that's all there is to it. Most of the people reading this just came to read the "Baby Jessica" entry anyway (still mind-boggling, by the way, but it's how most people find this site).

Anyway, some pictures from Easter coming soon, along with my renewed juggling habit. Until then . . .
