So it’s five months later and I’ve decided to give the blawgin’ thing another go.<\/p>\n
Of course, nothing has changed as far as my having anything important to say or even having an audience to read said unimportant posts, and obviously I’m still the same old lazy me.<\/p>\n
Writing is therapeutic, though, at least for me, and this is something to do when I’m too beat to work on Project One. Not that I’ve made much headway on my crappy Sci-Fi novel since the whole Writers’ Conference letdown, but it’s time to change that too. Looking back at the blogs I wrote earlier, I saw a small list of long and carefully worded entries (masterpieces all if not for their being drivelous who-cares-its) and grimaced at the amount of work that would lay ahead for me if I decided to keep up that kind of pace. I originally wanted to put out something meaty at least five times a week, and I got all nutty scampers when I missed a day or could only come up with a short entry. Being who I am, I realize now, it was inevitable that I would get frustrated and move on to something else. Well, something else has wound up being lots of sitting around on my butt being sick, and of course I used very little of that time creatively.<\/p>\n
That’s all changing, just you wait and see. And don’t laugh if it doesn’t.<\/p>\n
From now on, I’ll post when I can, and won’t worry about missing a day. Or two. Or a week.<\/p>\n
From now on, I’ll stop worrying about writing perfect entries. Everything will be draft-quality, like this post. That long paragraph above is an absolute mess, but I don’t care. Or rather, I do<\/em> care, a lot, but I’m going to start trying to ignore the screaming voices in my head that don’t want me to publish such poorly written stuff. Because really, the best I can do now will be poor in comparison to what I will<\/em> be capable of if I keep practicing. Right? Maybe. Just you wait and see.<\/p>\n From now on, my posts will all be written in conversational English, meaning that I won’t worry too much about dangling participles or preposition-terminated sentences or any of that other muckety-muck. I’ll just write something and click “Publish” when I’m done.<\/p>\n From now on, MWP will be secondary to Project One. There will probably be lots of times when I can work on both, but if I’ve only got a few minutes to write, I’ll be choosing the book.<\/p>\n So that’s the loosely-formulated plan as I see it now. But I still don’t know where the man is. I’ll let you know when I find him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So it’s five months later and I’ve decided to give the blawgin’ thing another go.
