A Year With No Progress

     Another year, another Mother’s Day, came and went with little impression that I was serious about writing.  My intention was to take a few weeks and gather some steam then dive back in boldly.  Sadly that was not the case.  I looked back at the Forcing The Issue, Doin' Sh*t With Pat, and Kronicles of KD from time to time with feelings of amusement, longing and a dash of shame.

This is a Sunflower that I failed to cultivate
properly in the Three Sisters tradition.

Happy Mother's Day... I Need A Vacation

     Mother's Day is coming and there's no big update from me on the writing front.  I wrote a half-assed article for Doin' Sh*t With Pat, but fully intent to full-assedly complete it with pictures, calculations and variations on the recipes.

Motivational Deficit

From "Must... use POWERS!"

     So I've had a little problem with motivation of late that no amount of passion and drive has been able to surmount.  I planned on writing about several of the projects I've completed for Doin' Sh*t With Pat, but family, work, prior commitments and a plethora of good movies seem wear my resolve.  That might have sounded like a humble-brag, but it was only intended to be the defining variable in this experiment in disciplined writing.  (P.S. I am really looking forward to the Avengers and the start of a summer of killer movies!)

40 Movies and a Little More Reading

From "Between Keyboard and Chair"

     It's been 78 days since the start of 2012 and thus far I have watched 40+ movies from several different genres.  That's about a movie every 0.512820513 or a movie every other day. I've spent more time watching movies than reading or even writing for this blog. I have a viable outlet for review writing at Kronicles of KD and posting my recommendations on my 2012: A Year in Review, yet I have not capitalized on those. I have also tried to boost readership and camaraderie with other writers through this blog, but I have failed to read the works of others.

Presently It's the Past

From "A Liliputian's Journey"

     Last week I utterly failed and I came pretty close to missing this week's deadline too.  One of these weeks I will focus on the "life of a writer" and see how some people find time to write while others are strapped for time, focus and overall energy.  That is a topic for the future, this week I will NOT fail, I will prevail in writing about my struggle with tenses!

Procrastination Fail

From "KR Connect"

     This week really got away from me and I waited until the very end to write this week's entry and utterly failed!  On top of that, I was not even able to complete the Doin' Sh*t With Pat article or comment of other blogs ("p1c3").  In short, I failed to reach my goal from last week and even this measley entry is impeeding future writing.

Time Log Discussion

     I was sick this weekend so I didn't have much time to write.  I recorded my time log over the week and spent time reflective on where the time is spent (and recovering from this cold).  That does not mean this week's article is going to be light.  I've included the my time log and KD Benji's time log for comparison.  Take a look and see how the two compare.

Thanksgiving Update

Happy Thanksgiving~

     I hope you are having (or had) a wonderful time with friends and family.  Just a quick note this week about an upcoming article on Dave’s blog, dudeiminaband.com, about Christmas music.   

Trying to “Keep on, Keeping on”

     For the most part I have spent most of my free time reading (The 4-Hour Body), watching movies (Never Let Me Go), and writing approx. 100+ usable words per day.
