For the past five days I have voluntarily locked myself in my apartment and got down deep with this inro, truly overdue!!! I decided to not let myself blog until I could really show for my time...so alas, I logged an estimated 1,369 mins!!! Yup that's over 22 hours of writing, thinking, editing, and revising!!!! That may not seem like much to many writers but some people don't even average that in a week or even a month's time. --- How did I do it? I pretty much stayed in pajamas all weekend - of course making time to shower - and just ate whatever i had on hand already prepared, watched mindless tv, and moved from the dining room, office, and constantly back to the couch making miracles happen. I passed up concerts, festivals, bike rides and pretty much all human contact outside the phone. It was incredibly painful, isolating, tiring, and yet inspring to see how I could accomplish my goal to have this intro prettttty much DONE!! Printed out my last version to edit tomorrow morning and then I think I gotta let this baby on to the editor so I can prepare to shine in the near and far future....Lesson learned through it all, GO HARD WRITING or get out the way so others can leave their lasting mark!!!!!
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.
