I Fail… Already…

Don’t hurt me, I failed, I know and I’m sorry! Please… don’t hurt me. I’m so ashamed

I began this with, as always, the best of intentions. Then I got eaten by the distraction monster.

I don’t even know where the last 12 days went, they certainly didn’t go into my novel lol. Some of them went into starting a new blog featuring two of my favorite things: Crafts ‘n’ Coffee. Just what I need eh? Another project?! Trust me, I’m rolling my eyes at myself too. You know how it is? Once you determine to do something you immediately switch into a mode where you will think of anything and everything to get in the way of accomplishing said task?

Personally I call it writing-via-procrastination. I justify it by saying that I let the story float around in my head, creating itself, until it finally has to come out and out pours a brilliant piece of writing.

Isn’t that the best load of garbage ever? It totally lets me shift from sounding undisciplined about my craft, to being this edgy creative-type. But it’s sooooo convenient. In my defense, and of writers and artists everywhere who use this excuse (I know you are out there), there is some merit to this claim. Stories that I let sit in my head for a little while generally turn out better than ones that get written before they are ready.

That’s not the case with this novel though. This novel is written, I just need to get ON WITH IT ALREADY! lol.

A big thank you to the people that have contacted me and nagged me RE: updating this blog. I need to update, even when I get nothing done. Just so I can say “yes, I did nothing… let the mocking commence.”

So, without further ado, shame me into getting work done!
