Niall's Voice

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialists. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me.... Martin Niemoller

The Pen is so heavy

Now that I have decided to join the writing group, every insecurity that could come up, is coming up. I had belief in writing or expressing my thoughts, life experiences, and just about everything. Well I know it is in the very early stages, but c'mon, how can I get writers block before I pick up the pen. Talk about the wall of fear, it has grown in the last few days. It is my understanding that the people in the group have experience, have the ability and willingness to share their knowledge, and must have invited me for some reason, other than I am just a terrific writer. This is where the faith comes in and knocks down that wall of fear. I spoke to a dear friend last night and shared with her my "title" of the unwriiten book. I will put it out here for the first time, well the first time since joining a group of writers. The book, if nothing changes, will be called "Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain......" Yes it has something to do with the song Macarthur Park. Only to the extent of what it means to me, I think it speaks to me and my life, the events of my life, and the many passions that drove me in the directions I took. More will be revealed, as I put it to paper/blog!!
