But it's not productive.
So I was happy to see David Farland's Kick in the Pants yesterday, which included the following formula from Robert A. Heinlein:
Well, maybe happy isn't the right term for what I feel when I read those sage words. I mean, like I don't have enough guilt, right? But still, this makes good sense and I really need to follow it.
Any.
Day.
Now.

Read Dave's whole Kick for yourself, here, and subscribe for the email version while you're at it.
We all need a kick now and then.
It's tough. I'm not at the point yet where I write every day, but I'm working toward it. I tend to binge and write/edit for hours, late into the night (or early morning). Some days I sit down to write and everything seems like it's not working. Those are the times I need to be persistent, because at least a little writing is better than nothing. It gives me something to work with the next day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and forge ahead! Or forge a-sit, in your chair. :)
I love Dave's Kicks. I have a folder in my email where I keep them for future reference after I've read them.
ReplyDeleteAnd Heinlein wrote one of my fav books of all time. He had his moments of brilliance.
I could use a kick, I'll have to go check it out. At least binge reading is better than nothing book related at all. That's how I justify it. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoo, I think I will go check this out! Thanks!
