As I have referenced before, I received some advice from a literary friend of mine once, who told me to just fucking write. Action begets progress...or something like that. Sam Seaborne (my second or sometimes third character on West Wing) states something similar when he tells Toby he's "just not writing well."
I hate when I'm "just not writing well." Usually, I stop writing for awhile...take a break...
...and subsequently go insane with all the thoughts in my head that are clawing for a way out...
Sooo...as I'm trying to work on a few other bad habits lately...(Coca Cola, I'm looking at YOU...and giving you a fierce side eye) I'm going to just keep writing.
These may not be my best work. BUT I'm probably the only one who will expend any time reading them.
Oh dear sweet 6 friends who read this blog and therefore keep up with what my real thoughts are vs. my social media nonsense...I'm apologizing in advance for the literary shit that you might find...
So a few things that I am working on:
1) Went to a baby shower today and came home with 15 reece cups. At press time, there are still 12 and half a can of coke. This is progress.
2) The drop leaf desk is painted, put back together and mounted on the wall in the Reading Room. So is the "shelf" which is actually just the other leaf on some wall hangs I found in the basement when I was down there searching for my stud detector. Found it. As of this moment, I have detected no studs.
3) The corner cabinet is assembled. With almost no thanks to the instruction manual that arrived with the damn thing. It took forEVER due to my desire to paint it and that sort of thing that I do because I take the long way around on just about anything I do. But it's up...and there are even a few things in it.
4) I decided my new goal is to try to run 10 miles a week. It's a manageable goal...but I like my goals to be achievable at first. If I can ramp up my running to this point then MAYBE i will trot out the 1000 mile goal for 2016...but let's not hold our breathes here.
5)I did NOT finish cleaning the kitchen. I need magical elves or singing birds or something. That joint is a mess.
6)I need another day on this weekend which I'm not getting. I'll cry myself to sleep over this.
7) Listened to the newest Front Bottoms Album over the weekend. I had been holding off because I love the other ones so much I was worried I would not love this one as much. I was wrong. It's an melodic and darkly funny as their other albums. Cough it out and Help are my two new favorites. I have tickets to go to the show on Halloween. Need to find a date to that. Maybe something else the magical midgets can work on.
So that is where we are write now...writing stupid lists. Sorry folks...
But hey, at least at my worst, my shit will still be better written than 50 shades.
