Ebb and Flow

Bosque River DamWow.  So I haven't updated in 3 weeks.  Now if only I could say a ton of things have happened since mid-February, and I can, but on the writing front, I must say not much.  However, there are a couple of small things to mention.

For starters, I didn't finish White Rock but I did finish the scene I had been procrastinating.  And I liked the way it ended.  Then I promptly went back to procrastinating some more.  In the #poettues discussion on Twitter this week, there was a question about how to get around blocks, and my comment was that I don't believe in writer's blocks, but I believe in my own laziness and lack of ability to prioritize writing above other things.  Which is where I am now.  In addition, wallowing in the self-doubt that comes along with my writing procrastination has its own snowball effect on my productivity levels.  We will see if any of that changes.  I can only hope.

Second, somehow I missed the entire month of February, which was the fund drive for I Should Be Writing, Mur Lafferty's podcast that should be kicking me in the head every time I stall out on writing (though my subconscious laziness has been more powerful than Mighty Mur's words lately).  Anyway, I showed up late to the party and made a donation, but I would recommend if you don't listen to it, that you do, and if you like it, that you drop a few bucks in the Paypal donation drop box.

And now, while I'm off to figure out what I am going to do prose-wise in the somewhat near future, I have a question or challenge for anyone deciding to read this little blog:  Tell me what I should write a poem about.  It was suggested to me by a Twitterer (is that a word) that this is a good way to interact with people and to motivate myself to write and have a direct feedback loop and all that fun stuff, so I'm curious - anything you think I should write about?

Cheers!

  1. How about war, or a huge friggin' disaster like Japan?

    Or maybe, on a lighter note, fartherhood.
