Today was one of those days where I wanted to do everything but write!! I have been finding myself wandering around my apartment finding any and every task/chore to handle before i actually sit down to write. I was supposed to have met up with a friend at the coffeeshop to write and seeing that i did not want to drive anywhere I was able to get that rescheduled. I also made different calls I suppose to allow myself to stay distracted from undone book intro. Then there came a point where I felt down right guilty that a colleague took time out of their schedule to read my work-in-progress and yet here I am avoiding it. So finally i said, damnit quit being lazy and distracted and get to work! I permitted myself to lounge on the couch while watching tv (with the sound off) and handle this editing; that seemed to work because before I knew it I had gotten in my base of 3 hours of writing, thinking, and rewriting!!! No rewards in sight just yet - well maybe an episode of Da Vinci's Demons - but I plan to stay in the house and off the grid for the next two days tackling this intro! Until then I'm taking it back to my southern roots to heed some sage advice ...
WRITE - EVERY - DAY!! Everyone knows it and yet we come up with countless creative excuses on why we can't or why we don't have time. Outside of desired goals, lingering deadlines, and sage advice, what does an actual writing groove look like!?!?! Over the next year I am on a blogging quest to find that out.
