I am the mayor of writer's block city.

So i have this book called "The Pocket Muse", and it is intended to, obviously, inspire and spark writing. I bought this book over a year ago with the intentions of becoming some prolific, unstoppable, professional writer. I read the book cover to cover, every tip, prompt, quote and idea. I wrote nothing. I have this fear that my writing will sound stupid. When i start a passage, i usually delete after 5 lines. I dont like what i have to say necessairly. It always seems so forced, and without passion. I need a push. When i took creative writing in high school I was incredible, but only because my grades depended on it. Now its just me and i seem to have no problem letting myself down. But hopefully not for much longer. The goal here is to take an idea from that book and write about it. Daily. No excuses, no exceptions. Starting tomorrow, of course.
