getting back into it

so that I can get out of it for Christmas.

It has been a lean year. When you are used to writing for work full time it is hard to stay motivated to write for fun, for self-actualization, but especially for free.

The real problem is that I have been so busy working to make ends meet — at odd jobs and retail — that I don't have the time to take care of housework, let alone build the writing business. It's a big leap to back off on a small but guaranteed paycheck, in exchange for bigger ones that are rarely frequent or timely.

It's time I heed my own advice. "Just do it." I will do laundry later, I will sleep next week. I will not knit "just" one more row. Right now I will get back to writing.

Not RIGHT now. I have to get off to the butcher shop — gotta pay the bills.
d'oh.
