Non Fictional Blah

Okay, I've been festoring over writing a non-fictional piece and it's driving me nuts. It's funny how we have tons of non-fictional books at home that my boys have collected through interests in snakes, spiders, dinosaurs, planets, and on and on...you would think I would be inspired by them. Nope. Why is it so hard to write something that's true? Factual? Oh, it's because we have to back it up with research. Yuck! I give it up to authors who write in this genre. Although all the information is right there, it's not as easy as it seems. Siting resources is pretty tough and writing to make it your own is even harder. I think on my camping trip this weekend I'm going to bring my writing journal just in case I get inspired!
