Excuses, Excuses!

Nothing but one excuse after another. There comes a point when I drive myself crazy.  Take tonight for instance;  I wanted to write something. Anything. Just to get some words out on paper.. or in this case the computer screen. 

Sounds easy enough, right?

Well, it should have been. But I have this thing you see; I can't write until things are a certain way. The house has to be clean, dishes done, desk cleared off and quiet.  Not something easily attained when you have a family!  Of course, I can't blame the family because I was the same way in college.

Tonight I hope to have used my last excuse. I WILL sit down everyday and write*. I WILL write if the dishes are in the sink. I WILL write if it's a little noisy - that's what editing is for, right? :) I WILL write, I WILL write, I WILL WRITE.

If I made a declaration the other day of being a writer I better damn well write something.

And so I will. :)


No more excuses.


*I write daily but unless I think it's decent I don't count it as "writing". I need to stop those thoughts.

This is Day 3 in the Great Writers Series.  

I didn't make it up 2 hours early but I stayed up 2 hours later last night. I'm going to adjust a bit to see what works for me. Regardless though, I will carve out 2 hours a day to write - so help me!
