Start blogging again for God's sake. Do it like getting up on cold rainy mornings and bundling up to go out and feed horses. Just do it. Every day.
You always have so much to say, let's be honest, probably too much, all the time. It's the writer in you, the communicator. Just put it out there because it's your gift and contribution. Then maybe you will feel less need to talk so much in general, especially to yourself, which could be a good thing because you won't look like a lunatic.
I'm thinking all this while sitting on a plane and watching so many around me with their laptops and tablets and I think flying could be a good time for writing, so I should start doing this, too. A tablet would be nice--smaller and lighter than a laptop, and I need to replace my Nook, which is obsolete.
Actually, I'm plenty irritated that my Nook--and my laptop--are both obsolete, outdated, because I've had them both less than 10 years. I hate that the electronic industry sells us the idea that we need all these devices, then renders them obsolete as soon as possible with "improvements" and "updates". Maybe I'll just bring an old-fashioned, spiral-bound paper notebook and pen with me when I travel.
