Resisting Writing

I enjoyed reading this part of the chapter. I mainly enjoyed it because it described me in a lot of ways. I feel like it is hard for me to just sit down and write on the computer. This is because these days there are so many distractions once you get onto your computer. There is facebook, aim, email, and just plain surfing the internet that can distract you from hours on end. I liked the quote even when you're prepared to begin writing, it's difficult to " just do it." I usually have to sit down, get comfortable and think for five to ten minutes about what I am going to say in a blog or what I am going to focus on in order to be able to start writing and entering a successful blog entry. I thought it was interesting to read that even professional writers procrastinate. I am not surprised by that but it made me feel like I wasn't dumb for procrastinating and going on different websites before I write since even professionals do the same thing. I also enjoyed the quotes that this passage provided from professionals, I thought that they were very informative and smart. Writers are not born but dependent on work habits, daily discipline, and reader response, as well as the voices of other writers they've read. You have to be motivated and disciplined in order to be a great writer, and focus on what you're saying whenever you are writing so you don't sound like an idiot.
