Origami, or why I haven't started a book yet.

You may have noticed a some of my foldings showing up. That's for two main reasons. First, I love doing origami. There's a really nice sense of calm about it, a peace in following steps towards a conclusion. I love the idea that I can take a simple piece of paper and turn it into something intricate.

Secondly, I've been having a hard time trying to write a book. I've already mentioned how I'm trying Nano, but it's not really working out so far.

I had hoped to write a detective novel, but didn't really plan it, then my massive fear of failure problem reared its ugly head and that had to be scrapped.

It was replaced with the idea of writing a book about what happened to me earlier this year. It's not a nice subject, and it's hard for me to even think about, let alone write about. I feel stupid for not being able to write it, but as soon as I start trying I find it too hard to carry on. It's silly, I know. I'll keep trying though, and when I do get something done I'll put at least the beginning on here.
