Eight days in…
Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I haven’t written one word this year.

Sure, we’re only eight days in, but I haven’t taken that long a break in forever. I think the problem IS the New Year. New Year translates to New Starts in my brain.

Instead, I have a book that’s two-thirds written to finish by the end of this month, another that’s contracted and due by April 1st, but I’d much rather be spinning a brand new tale to hasten in the year.

I know. It’s time to pull up the big girl panties and get to work. Maybe a little company would help. Anyone feels like doing some timed writing in the next couple of weeks, email me! I work best with a sense of urgency and competition fueling my muse.

And everyone else—nag, nag, nag!

    Good luck to you and anyone who joins you in this. I finally have a goal to concentrate on and get me moving toward getting in shape. Going to do the Marine Corps Run Amuck in June down in Quantico. 4 miles are running and getting dirty.

    Brandy!
    That sounds like so much fun!! I joined weightwatchers on Tuesday. Will have first water aerobics class tonight. I just can’t wait until warmer weather to get into my own pool!

    While the writing I have to do isn’t fiction, I’ve been stalling and it’s driving me crazy. It’s an essay so I can complete my Master’s application and enroll in classes. I’m just having trouble stretching what I could say in a paragraph into three pages. I’m halfway there and still struggling. *sigh*

    Brandy, that sounds like it will be a lot of fun. I almost wish I was going to be in the area in June instead of July for my cousin’s wedding.
