The Shape of Today

Irons in the fire...

Reading another WDC member's writing blog has gotten my pumped up to get to my own material again. I have this week's guild announcement to write (not a "real" writing gig, but one I enjoy and use to sharpen my skills), an idea for a submission for a contest here, a smattering of stories, the crown jewel, and an article or two.

I grumble extensively about life getting in the way but truth be told, I need to discipline myself more. I can't do anything about life getting in the way, but when I'm sitting here and not else-wise occupied I can focus harder on what needs to be done. Reading the thoughts of that other writer (who seems to be a college student), I can see where I can make improvements to my own approach. None of these things, not even the guild announcement, are going to get written unless I bear down harder on myself.

And a workday is headed down the pike toward me, so I'd better put a few minutes in on something this lovely morning...
