showing up at the page

Sometimes showing up at the page is the hardest part of any project.  Here's the cool thing about that, though - if showing up really is the hardest part, the rest of the work must be the easier part.  Tell yourself this.  Once you get past that moment of clutching fear, once you start in on the thing itself, you can let the work teach you how it should be done.  You can play, explore, feel your way into a new way of doing it... You can have fun.  You showed up. You are there.
