One Thing at a Time · 12:43am Feb 26th, 2017
I need to get back to a healthier writing mentality. Right now I look at the enormity of any task I undertake in its entirety and it just mentally wears me down. It's as though I assume that I'm going to take every step of a journey in one body destroying instant, which is obviously a ridiculous way to look at it. But the only thing I should be looking at is the tiny chunk of the thing I need to get done today, and how easy is that tiny chunk? Specifically in regards to Reunion, how easy is that little chunk looking back on the several novel's worth of text I've already written and how comparatively little there is left to write? How am I not done yet?
Well I can't make Reunion be finished three years ago but I can make it be finished a few months from now instead of never. I have a three day weekend due to pet sitting for my parents as they go have a free night at a local hotel and casino, and I'm really going to try and put up at least one thing per month this year. I've also cut the vast majority of the caffeine I was consuming previously and even when I do only get four hours of sleep I still feel far more rested than if I had slept for six after spending a night sipping Mountain Dew. Feels good man.
Anyway just sort of unleashing a stream of consciousness on here to let you all know I'm still working on it. I'll be streaming in about an hour or so but after that I'm going to get back on it.
Edit: Oh and how does one blog per week sound too? I like the idea of being more connected to you all.
Go at the pace you decide man. Though a kick in the pants always helps.
One blog a week is cool, nice way to keep in touch and let us know how things are as well as get stuff off your chest.
I wouldn't mind regular updates.
