Ooo, Shiny.

It's been a bit of a busy week, so I apologize for the tardiness of the post. Most of the week was spent feeling like I was stuck in a game of Oregon Trail. The town I live in had a water boil order in effect for about a week. Guess who found out too late? I do have a new-found appreciation (or a re-found appreciation?) for municipal water usage. The whole thing got my mind side-tracked from my current project. I almost jumped ship and started to work on another piece, something with a post-apocalyptic vibe.

Discipline has been my biggest issue to date. But it's slowly getting better. Editing and a second draft is required before I move on to another big project. I'm serious. No messing around. No flitting from project to project like some weird, adhd hummingbird. Back. To. Work.

.....*twitch, twitch*

Gah! I guess I'll have to work fast to keep the hives to a manageable minimum. *twitch*

    Thar be varmits in them woods!

    Don't think of it as discipline...nobody likes discipline. Think of it as an obsession with success. Obsessions are fun and sort of naughty.

    Naughty will keep me writing or editing.
    and if it doesn't work, bribe yourself with wine and chocolate.

  3. Thanks, Cher. Getting the things I need to do out in public tends to keep me on task (usually). :D

    Frances, I think I need to re-up the supplies. I haven't been bribed in ages. lol.
