Resisting Writing

I found it very interesting that even professional writers procrastinate actually writing.  For me, it takes a lot of motivation to actually start writing.  What's funny is that as soon as I start the actual process, it actually seems to go by really fast.  It is also hard to come up with good ideas, or if I have a good idea, how to start it.  Once I actually start the introduction, it normally starts to flow pretty steadily.  

A book Don Murray wrote call Shoptalk: Learning to Write with Writers, talks about the habits it takes to write, rather than talent.  One of the quotes that I liked was, "Writing... is like rearing children--willpower has very little to do with it.  If you have a little baby crying in the middle of the night, and if you depend only on willpower to get you out of bed to feed the baby, that baby will starve.  You do it out of love."  That was interesting to me because it seems true.  Even writers procrastinate, but what makes them actually start writing is the fact that they love doing it.
