Itchy

by Katya Simkhovich

I’m so terribly itching to write.  Considering it is January, I could participate in the abundance of resolution making and the attempted enforcement of said resolutions.  However I prefer make my resolutions sporadically, especially on weekdays.  Wednesdays seem to be a popular day for resolution making in my life.

But today is Sunday and I’d like to make a resolution today to write more.  To succeed in upholding my resolution I had to asses what would stop me from doing so.  I assessed that I generally think only incredibly exciting things (like food) are worth writing about.  Also, I don’t deem many thing in my life as incredibly exciting, and thus not worthy of more than a paragraph, and thus a waste of time.  I should not think like this.  This is a very very bad way to think.  Bad Katya.  Bad.

I like to write.  Therefore I should do it more.  Even if only the most mundane topics present themselves to me, I vow to turn them into a literary work of genius.  Ha, just kidding.  But from now on I will do my best to write.  I will do my best to find things to write about, even if I think they might be not particularly interesting.

And so, a resolution was born.
