Head and Heart to Paper

So I know I've been lacking disciplined in writing the blog. However, I have been thinking about multiple entries and ideas to explore. It's such a disconnect at times between my interior world and the dictates of the physical reality I inhabit on a daily basis.
Sneaking a moment to transfer thoughts to paper is proving a great challenge, but one I will not back down from. I remember meeting a Scottish Playwright at the University of Edinburgh who told us that you are a writer, even if you are only thinking about writing: you've fought half the battle. This philosophy leads me to believe that I have many halves which need to be integrated into a physical self. A paper and print self. And so, I cannot promise daily entries, but I will challenge myself to bi-weekly typing releases.
This week I was asked by a colleague how is it that my head does not explode? With all the random facts and knowledge I collect and with no outlet, she wondered this as I spoke 7 miles a minute. Perhaps the antidote to the sadness at a lack of creating and the pulsating pressure to share is to, very simply put, just write.
