Day 83

I didn't blog yesterday. What a relief. One less thing to do. One less obligation. I did journal but there was none of the pressure that comes from knowing that others can and may read the words I put to paper (or to screen). Yesterday I was certain that I should put the blog behind me and in the process unburden myself.

I woke up this morning thinking about the blog. I was nervous about giving it up. I know that the practice is what makes me a writer. I can't give up the practice. For the last year, the blog has been an important part of my writing practice. Not only was I committed to writing each day; I shared that commitment with others.

What I know for sure is that I need to maintain a writing practice now, especially now. How do I decide what form that practice takes?
