Wuzza!  I am sitting here drinking a mug of coffee and so it prompted me to post a mug of myself.  And here we are, day 6 of the post a day project, which is not so much of a project as it is an exercise to help me stay focused on writing.  You’d think that someone who wants to write for a living would be a little more motivated to do so but things are not always that easy.  My writing is very sporadic.  Rather, my ability to write anything of substance is sporadic.  For example, the last article that I wrote and submitted was 17 days ago and since then I have not been able to focus on writing another one since that time.  My dilemma is this, the things that bring me the most joy are creative and artistic in nature, such as writing and design but my “real” job that actually pays my bills and feeds me and my family is just the opposite.  I guess you could say that I spend every day bouncing back and forth between the left brain part of my life in technical support and then trying to switch over to the right brain part when I want to write, paint or do something creative.

Not always an easy task.
