Coot?

So I just found out (by looking it up) that a coot usually refers to an old man. I already stated that I am not old, I am also not a man. But I think I'll keep the URL of my blog, kind of a rebranding of the word 'coot' ;).

Since This Is a Public Blog

Please tell me if you read my blog. It's been a while since I've had a public blog and I'm just wondering who reads this. Some of you may know me in real life. Just let me know, thanks. Seriously, just comment and let me know what you think.

Further Explanation

Thought I should explain more. I'm "done" with this other writing task that I had, and when I was done I was going to watch TV. But I don't feel like watching TV because the frustration is still following me around. And I don't feel like going back to the assignment because I don't have any more ideas for those specific prompts. I was just thinking to myself as I was trying to work on the assignment- "It would be hard enough to just get myself to write (about anything)..." So I decided to try that out: try to get myself to write about anything, and see if it was any easier, and if it satisfied me at all. So far I'd say not as satisfying as I'd hoped.

1/26/17

Am I still using dates for titles? This is a new blog. I had an old one called 'starting to be honest', back when that was a goal in my life. Now I'd like to be able to write a little quicker and with a little less frustration so I started this blog called 'starting to write.' I'll keep it public until something slips out. I just finished a writing assignment by giving up-by sending it to someone to ask them to finish it for me. That's why I'd like to start writing more so that I have more approaches to writing than just giving up. Perhaps I need more approaches to life than just giving up as well. There are no guarantees about how often or whether I'll continue this. A good thing to do would be to write every day...like practice, right. But I just need to do this because I was blocked writing for my other assignment and I still feel frustrated even though  I 'finished' that assignment (remember, I finished by giving up). So I thought I would write until something comes out, preferably my frustration... comes out and is lifted off of me and up into the heavens. I'm just a babbling old coot. I'm not that old though. But I've had a bit of caffeine so I may be up for a while regardless and want to keep my frustration at bay somehow. The person I sent it to won't be able to get back to me until Monday. So it's a waiting game unless I spontaneously decide to do some more work on it. But I was just DONE with it, if you know what I mean. Tomorrow I work and I may have more to keep me busy Saturday and Sunday. But for now, until I go to bed... babbling old coot will keep babbling until I can't babble anymore.
