I know I’m well late to the party on this. But no less relevant. I had to put the yellow legal pad away and pick up the camera. Wasting way too much time pretending to be productive, organized, developing a strategy. What I needed to do was get moving, make some pictures and make it happen. Thanks for the reminder and all of your generosity. Hoping for a full & speedy recovery.

For me, as a newbie author, the issue has not been to “begin” but to just keep going. The creative, fun writing part is done, but the mundane getting-it-ready-to-publish part has become a foggy marsh of indecision and distractions. I’ve been paralyzed by dreaming about so many other attractive, creative projects that I can’t bring myself to do the unattractive, boring minutiae it will take to finish the original job. I can even justify (in my own mind) watching TV because I’m knitting while I watch. Time to put on the blinders, go on that low-information diet, and “get er done.” Thanks for the reminder.

David, I just got back from a road trip and am catching up with my reading. This is such a timely post for me – I absolutely agree with you and yes it does indeed pertain to creative photography. Most importantly for me – I did it! I had 4 definitive ideas for subjects on the road trip and beforehand i set myself the goal of 2 out of 4. I managed to attempt them all. I have yet to go through the images fully and i know I missed a few that i wanted but the important thing is I got out there at 5am when needed, overcame the fear/resistance and went ahead with each of the projects i had given myself. As I said we’ll see how they came out but thanks as always for all of your advice through this blog. “Within the Frame” was my travel read on the trip too.
