HIM-HAWING

Warning: 50 words Plus a few

"It is almost impossible to be honest and boring at the same time.  Being honest may be . . . risky, scary, difficult, frightening, embarrassing . . . But it is not boring. Whenever I am stuck in a piece of writing, I ask myself, 'Am I failing to tell the truth? Is there something I am not saying, something I am afraid to say?"

Julia Cameron
The Right To Write  p. 139

Mom called it him-hawing, beating around the bush. I can feel myself doing this many times, though one article comes to mind. It ended up being published in two magazines. Honesty does pay. 8-)
