Word Shark

Woke up a little later than I wanted to today and had a couple more administrative things to clean up, but still managed to have a decent time with the book. I put about 800 words down this morning, and so I'm pretty much back to where I was before the meltdown, which is not a bad deal, I suppose--especially considering that I've been working through a ton of little nitty-things, too. Yes, I've been letting things pile up. This is a bad thing, you know? Seriously. A friend of mine recently said I've got too much energy. The reality is that I've had quite a bit of down time in the past few weeks. I took off a week in December, and did mostly computer junk. I had planned to write a lot over the holidays, but then I got sick, and basically lived the life of sloth. It became easy to NOT do things. I'm just kind of like that. If I convince myself that it's okay to not do something, well, then, it becomes easy to not do this other thing ver there. And then, this thing here, well, it really can wait, too. I have this tendency toward laziness that I really dislike in myself. When I'm successfully combating my laziness I'm constantly busy--I've constantly got something I want to accomplish. This is probably why the Dare approach is so good for me. I enjoy watching the line move upward and to the right. It's almost like being a shark, I guess. Swim or sink. Sink or swim. I've got to say it feels pretty good to be swimming.  Woah, guy. Just watch out for Flipper Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
