Thoughts from Inside My Head



Everyone is waiting. They're so anxious for a Missy Times. It's been such a long time that they're all worried The Missy Times is over. But it's coming. I will finish an issue someday. Someday soon.
My mind is so blocked, so clogged with ideas and phrases that won't materialize out of my head and onto the page. I can imagine my finished articles, I can imagine the relief of holding the freshly printed copies in my hands and seeing proof that all the agony of this past summer was not for nothing. It has been so long.
I think back over the many months I've struggled to write and shudder at the lost time that has passed as week after week goes by with no more progress than the last. I read my collection of past issues and yearn to write again. I see my old pieces that brought so much pleasure to my readers' faces and wish that I had a new Missy Times to send them, a Missy Times I could be proud of.
I must get it done. I WILL get it done. My dream of writing cannot die, I cannot give up my goal of becoming a journalist. If I ever want to grow up to be a famed writer, esteemed throughout the country for my talented work, I must first overcome this looming road block.
No one said it would be easy. If it were easy, then everyone would be amazing writers. It takes perserverance, it takes commitment, it takes work. That's why I'm going to stick with this. I'm going to write right through this until finally I've trounced this challenge and finished it, down til I've sealed the very last envolope.

The Missy Times is making a comeback. It is coming! And I promise you (and hold me to this) that by this time next week you will be holding an issue in your very own hands.
