Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.
~Gene Fowler
Today I sat down to finally write some essays I've been meaning to, or at least to start. I'm working on the introduction and it may be the hardest part. It needs to be concise and readable and to link together several seemingly unrelated ideas, and to do so in a way that convinces a number of very different target readers that the essays that follow are worth reading. Progress is slowly being made, but my forehead has become wet, and I'm afraid to look in the mirror.
