Hard to start

Projects. Sigh.

Why is it so hard to get started? The blank sheet of paper; the empty file – it’s not just me; I know it’s a universal thing, but why?

Of course, I’m staring at the beginning of this project; have been all day. I have had the wonderful gift of an entire uninterrupted day to work on this, and all I did was get started. I moved from a blank document to a not-blank document.

No content. No mileposts. No discernible sketches of a final product. And it took all day to get this far. Part of it is that it has been fighting me all day long. Part of it is me, and getting started. And perhaps being too much of a perfectionist, though I certainly don’t feel like I’m aiming for perfection.
