How to Avoid Writing

There are so many ways:

Wash the dishes.
Dry the dishes.
Slice chicken for supper.
Make Russian Dressing (what a mess that was).
Read the The New York Times (the real paper, not on line; great article by David Carr about a 472-page, 4.5 pound REAL BOOK (“Cool Tools”). Doubt if I'll buy it or read it but it was fun reading ABOUT it.
Answer emails, delete spam.
Play a game or two of Spider Solitaire.
Go back to the Crossword.
Get the laundry from the dryer.

All the while the blank screen stares at me.

I stare back and find some other piddling chore to do to delay the inevitable.

Write, scribe, write. Something, anything. Just, as Nike says, DO IT!

Done.
