I came to an unpleasant conclusion a few minutes ago as I stood before the toilet, emptying the last few droplets of waste from my bladder. (I'm sure you're all thanking me for the image running through your mind right now.) I am an incredibly lazy writer. And I find that proclamation to be both hideously depressing and cathartically liberating. I'm a lazy s.o.b. when it comes to putting my thoughts down on paper, processor, or interweb. My last post on this blog was in early December. Bear in mind, I've had plenty of "good" or at least mentionable ideas to post on here since December 4th, but I haven't. I've been too lazy to do so. Some excuse always surfaces in time to save me from actually expending some mental energy. Work, Warcraft, Meals, Jane, the Dog, YouTube, - ANYTHING to keep me from writing. Why do I do this to myself? I haven't even written anything about my book(s) since late November. Don't get me wrong. I've THOUGHT about my allegorical saga quite a bit in the last few months. I've simply not bothered writing any of it down. Do you have any advice on making oneself a more disciplined writer? I'd love to hear if you do. I'm also considering starting another blog where I can put all of my ideas for my saga online for friends to read and critique. Input on the idea would also be appreciated.
May you find Shade and Water.
