In which I plod onward
Well, I'm not doing too well with the writer's resolution. I don't seem to be able to find the few minutes to press forward with it all. Or is it I'm just slipping back into procrastination mode? I expect I could find the time if I want to. I was going to go to bed--was up very very early this morning to play taxi driver--but I thought, it's been too many days since I've checked in and gotten the words flowing. If I don't do it today, I won't do it tomorrow, either. And then it'll be a bad habit instead of a good one. So I'm trying again. I'll polish this off, and then I'll polish off 15 minutes on some writing project or other. Probably the magic one.
I think the key is just to make it a habit. I think this evening dumping is a pretty good thing. The problem is that there are about 200 things I want to make a habit. I think, though, I'm going to let the writing be the one I focus on more this month. And next month too, if I need to. They all say it takes 21 days to form a habit, so let me take each habit one month at a time. I suspect I need much longer than 21 days. More like a year or so. But I can't do one habit at at time if that's my real rate. So I guess my real rate had better be one habit per month, hadn't it now? ;)
I'm distracted by a lot of things. One thing I've been doing recently is listening to PG Wodehouse. Mostly Jeeves. It gave me a brilliant idea, don'tcha know. I think I want to do some pastiches. Right-o. I think I will work on that for a bit, because it will make me laugh. I am thinking of a set of pastiches of different sources. Start with Wodehouse, and move onto Doyle... Maybe I'll even post them here. Or over on my real blog. Or somewhere. At least it'll be writing, and it'll be fun.
I'm also reading Peter and the Starcatchers. I'm only just getting into it. The start was rather slow for me. I think I'll enjoy it by the end, though.
Well, given I'm having an impossible time staying awake, I think I'll do my morning writing in the morning after all... I'm good on my 15 minutes here, I think, or at least, not too shabby, but I don't have anything more in me today. It's not about torture. It's about persistence and keeping on keeping on.
Night, y'all!
