In the past few weeks, I have spent a considerable amount of my free time doing one of the following things:
Reading Stephen King's On Writing
Googling online writers groups and signing up for their newsletters
Clicking through various sites about freelance writing and publishing
Thinking about starting a blog dedicated to creative writing
Downloading pictures for the template of aforementioned potential blog
Looking for daily writing prompts for said blog that do not suck
Flipping through the Writer's Market book my mother gave me
Watching the Making The Band 2 marathon
Not writing
No further comments, really.
Well, maybe one. Sometimes saying things out loud helps with accountability ...at least I hope it does. (For example, back in January, I thought about setting a goal of writing one short story per month. I never said it out loud or even wrote it down, though. How many short stories have I written so far this year? Um, zero. You see the problem, I assume.)
So there you go.
(By the way, whenever I write "there you go", it's always in the voice of the father from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. You know ... "Kimono, kimono, kimono. Kimono is come from the Greek word kimona, which is mean winter. What do you wear in the winter? A robe! So there you go.")
