Is it comforting that what I thought would happen, happened?

I’ve been working on a short story to post, and like usual, I start looking for ways to delay the writing. I tell myself I need to review how to outline, how to do character sheets, I need to review my writing books before I write anything. Is this even something worth writing about?

I get past that hump and start jotting down ideas, sentences, points I want to make sure I include in the story. After all, no amount of studying and thinking will make a story if I don’t write it down. Which is to say, I can delay all I want with whatever methods I’m used to, and I’ll have nothing to show on this blog except for an intro saying, hey, I’m writing again!
