Writing can be a bicycle made of lead. It’s much easier to stop than to start.
I’ve got two quotes that help propel me forward again after I stall out.
One is by the scientist and activist Linus Pauling, who won two Nobel prizes (chemistry; peace):
The way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
The other is by musician, song-writer, and record producer Nick Lowe, who had this motto in the recording studio at Stiff Records:
Bash it out now, tart it up later.
Finally, this comment by jazz great Thelonious Monk to a newer musician gives me courage to try something different:
Required Writing 
Do you ever wonder if the things you say are quotable, but nobody’s around to listen?

Thanks, I am glad you like it. I used WordPress free stuff (and my own background picture). WordPress provides free themes and other design components and also provides sample pages that show the design elements in use. I went through the samples, found some themes I liked, and more generally evaluated what I liked and disliked about various pages. I selected a theme based on what design features it provided (menus, colors, basic layout of what-goes-where), then messed around until I got something I liked. I dimly recall that I scrapped my first site because I got stuck and couldn’t remove some bell or whistle that I had tried, but it was then very quick to create a new version that is my current site.
