I have not been writing, because I have been studying all that goes into writing. Do I have the ability to sort through all the information and do what I need to do?
I am on information overload. I have been reading about freelance writing, grammar, markets and just about anything else related to writing. My mind can not seem to wrap around all of it anymore.
My ideas on writing topics have disappeared relative to the amount of information I have stuffed in my brain. They seem to be gone. Now that I have a small grasp on the amount of information I need to know about freelance writing, I can’t seem to write anything.
I am terrified that I will never be able to sit down and write quality articles or work. I know I am capable of writing well, but I still can’t focus enough to start. There is still so much information I need to know.
On top of this, I believe I have shot myself in the foot on several potential jobs. This place makes it pretty clear that I am new to the whole writing world. The Internet allows any potential employers to know it as well. I am still trying to figure out the best course of action to follow.
I am learning, though. Learning a great deal.

Hello, Peggy! Great blog tracking your journey as a writer. I am also on the path! I’ll keep your blog marked and visit again to check in on you. We writers must stick together, you know.
I liked your post about your 2008 writing goals. Brave of you to post them for the world to see! I have some that are loosely formulated, but only posted in my mind. I now feel challenged; maybe I’ll get my goals shaped up and firm enough to post! Blessings to you. —Erin
