Okay...so, I slacked off a little.
I know I said I was going to get myself on a strict writing schedule and have a submission going out every month.
I rewarded myself for getting the first piece out by going to Office Depot and buying myself a matching suite of manuscript and return envelopes that I could be pround to send out. I bought correction pencils and those expensive-ass Avery labels.
I just knew I would be cranking.
I started carrying around my draft notebook with me, although I knew deep down that I wouldn't be writing anything of quality during lunch because my coworkers have the invasive habit of reading over your shoulder.
I am officially 19 days behind in my self-inflicted imposed schedule. I was supposed to have something postmarked on 9/15, but...I got distracted by the cat. She's soooooooooooooooooooooo cute.
Okay - so, I'm being sort of facetious. I can't blame it on anything other than the fact that I'd rather be doing other things. Most of the time those other things involve becoming a vacuous blanket-wrapped blob in front of the television.
This is hard, folks. It's one thing to fiddle around with the blog and rant about who/whatever it is I can't stand in a given day, but when it comes to my fiction writing I'm never satisfied. I'd rather leave a piece unfinished than bungle it up in a fit of try-too-hard.
If I can spend an hour each day working on perfecting my craft (my, my that reads high brow, eh?) then it'd seem less like some obligation I'm resistant to...right?
Oh, by the way...the new Sims 2 expansion is out. :)
