Writing. What do you do each day that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t contribute to your writing \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and can you eliminate it?<\/i><\/p>\n
In 2010<\/a>, I said everything<\/i>. In 2015<\/a>, I said fear<\/i>. In 2016<\/a>, I said that it’s sitting down and doing it<\/i>. But this year? At first glance, it was work. But for the first half of the year, I took a CCSF class in fiction\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe intro class. I am not sure if through it, I was burnt out. Because shortly before it ended, I decided that I had to follow through on a promise that I had made to myself\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto quit my writing group. The one that I had been thinking of quitting for a long time due to a number of factors.<\/p>\n And so I could say that the latter half of the year is this idea of the lack of accountability. But it’s not that either.<\/p>\n It’s possibly…simply the idea that the consistency isn’t there. I used to write every day on this blog. But then other things took precedence. The job. The TV watching\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyes, lots of that. And then there was this guilt that I still wasn’t finishing the novel. The inability to finish editing.<\/p>\n With a lack of a group, I don’t have the accountability but I also mostly lack of the consistency of simply sitting down and writing. I don’t have the structures that I used to build myself because I used to have so many online friends which lowered the barrier to simply writing.<\/p>\n The computer tires me. The Internet tires me. All I do notice is that my short quips have made it. But my long drawn out thoughts don’t.<\/p>\n Maybe though that’s the thing that needs to be invirogated. to build up that consistency again. To make me love the written word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Writing.
