Hi 🙂
Today I have mostly been procrastinating in a particularly writerly way.
I played this game with the kids, and while they had their turns I was wandering to do little bits of housework; watching this YouTube video with writers talking about how they go about getting their head down and actually writing material, which I have been pausing and revisiting since yesterday. It is over two hours long…
Soon the kids moved off to do other things, and I read an online bio of Napoleon Hill…I even looked at Mel Robbins’ YouTube stuff on procrastination!!
Over lunch I watched more of the screenplay vid, then jumped onto Life Hacker stuff, where I found this link to a blog post about writing a novel in two months. I then found this link about the length of time it usually takes to write a novel (I was playing, reading and chatting to the kids, cuddling them, making them food/snacks, stripping beds, catching up with the laundry, finding/fixing toys and cleaning the kitchen in between all this surfing, honest…) and finally got annoyed with myself!
So I wrote the below:
Above Fields Static Celestial Squeamish Chilly Trekking Johns Paranoid
Above these fields
Of today’s static vision
Is a celestial realm
I’m just too squeamish to reach for.
I’d rather stay
A chilly outsider
Instead of doing the necessary trekking
Towards the warmth
Of literary fame.
Hanging here with the boring Johns,
Paranoid that all’s been said before –
Hiding in perfectionism
To cover up the fear.
It’s all filling the well, no doubt. My subconscious will make something out of my lazy days in this last week. I have actually been doing a lot of relevant tapping this October break, and I’ve learned quite a bit more about WordPress and blogging in general, for example.Â
A lot of writing has also been done 😉
I’m actually a little swot, honest…
Back to the school run tomorrow (thankfully with hubby’s chauffeuring, as he is working from home)
*Sigh*
I’m gonna miss my wee buds, again!
