Why can't I remember to blog?

So I read my post about Fergus the cat. It's a decent little piece. I think I have writing skills. The problem is that I never remember to sit down and write. Maybe I'll turn over a new leaf. I have started keeping a list of intriguing words I encounter. I heard that's what real writers do. Right now it includes words likes ersatz, thrill (as a verb), and quean. The last one is from Kim King and I haven't even looked it up yet. I've also finally figured out how to notate the books I'm reading on Kindle: Pink for words to remember, blue for ideas to discuss, orange for literary elements. It's a bit of a conundrum for me because I have delusions of grandeur, but I always manage to talk myself down. Why can't I be the next J.K. Rowling? Shoot, why can't I be the next C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien? Okay, their genius status cannot be denied, but still...... Today I'll think bigger, today I'll follow through, today I'll write a blog post. Done!
