If this works the way I hope it will, this will be a blog that documents how I overcome my anxiety about writing. The title, "Two Hours" is a what's-it-called to how much anxiety I get. Two hours is how long it took me to come up with the title.
I invite any grammar and style corrections if anyone would like to offer them. I'd look up that sort of thing myself, but it won't sink in unless I practice, so I'm taking care of the practice first, then maybe if writing starts to interest me I'll start to look up that sort of thing. So far this hasn't gotten me very far, it's taken me far longer to write this post than the blog title, and I've been really pushing myself just to write anything at all.
My brother was telling me one time about a famous musician's (I think it was one of The Beatles) opinion on how songs end. The opinion was that having songs fade out at the end is a cop-out, because it means the artist doesn't have to actually write an ending.

I love your new blag ;)
Hi Greg,
Personally, I dont push myself about writing or worry too much about the grammer and style.
Just a suggestion, try letting go of yourself - meaning try to write as the words flow in your mind and not worry about how it is shaping up. I am sure you would come up with really interesting stuff, with a lot less stress.
Hope this helps,
Warm regards,

Thanks for commenting Mr. Anonymous. I wish I could let the words flow from my mind. I think my brain just isn't wired up that way. Hmm.. maybe that's what happened with my bass playing. Maybe I actually re-wired my brain to start thinking in music. That's certainly what it feels like.
