Waiting For Inspiration

When having trouble starting something, how many people have told themselves comfortingly 'I'm just waiting for some Inspiration...'?
Told themselves that the ideas that have been jumbled up in their head in an incomprehensible tangle will sort themselves out because that bright idea, that revelation, is going to come?

I wanted my first post to be about something special, something unique.
What that was exactly, I had no idea. I still don't.

I guess that I simply hoped that I would 'think of something'.
The only thing that I was sure about was that I did not want to start with the traditional 'I started this blog because...'!

I wanted something out of the ordinary, something that would make people think. Was this too much to ask for?

It seems that it was. I have spent the best part of a week thinking and waiting until today, when I finally decided that I would sit down and force myself to write something, no matter how dreadful I thought it was.

Now all I need to do is ignore that side of me that is a hopeless perfectionist and post this. Fortunately, I can always remind myself that Jane Austen has shown shewn that one should not always trust First Impressions.
