-Havelock Ellis
Has it really been so long since I made a blog post? My goodness. May has been one of those months that sweeps a person away and doesn't give them much choice in the matter. Between my various obligations and, well, sleep, I haven't had time for much else. Sure, I'll occasionally indulge in some games. Who doesn't want to own some undead creatures with zombie dogs and jars full of spiders?
But for the most part I find that time is just slipping away while I take care of my never-ending list of priorities; on which writing has fallen dangerously low.
Then, of course, when I do find the time to write my mind goes blank! What a treacherous little thing, the imagination. Is it too late in the year to make a New Year's resolution?
On the back of all that, is my story any good? Should I write to be published, or write for only my enjoyment? Will those two things be at opposite ends, or can I find a good balance between the two? Its enough self-doubt for a person to drown in, I'll tell ya.
Either way, I'm making a goal chart (a realistic one), because I seem to work far better under deadlines; which any of my college instructors could tell you.
Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and oh, the truth in that! As the quote in the beginning says, living life means finding a balance between letting go and holding on. Sometimes we have to let things go for a while before we're ready to catch them and hold on.
Tell me what's the word, the word count:
