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!)

Completed a DSWP Entry

"From Men's Body Wash @ Doin' Sh*t With Pat"

     Well I finally completed the long overdue entry for my "Doin' Sh*t With Pat" blog.  It's not the best article, but it's finished and I am ready to move on.  I should not have used the Men's Body Wash project as the first entry, but it was a learning experience.
     The hardest part I have had with "Forcing the Issue" and "Doin' Sh*t With Pat" was the editing/formatting.  I spent the majority of the time fighting with the Blogger interface trying to format the article in a readable fashion.  I did that for each blog entry here as well.  It could very well be a 2:1 ratio in favor of format fighting vs. writing.

Reading the Weekend Away (Part 3)

     So once again I'm here on Monday evening rushing to meet the deadline.  I had a long, relaxing weekend with plenty of time to write an interesting article on time management, connecting with other writers/bloggers or even work on the d20 Adventure.  Is this another article all about reading other blogs in place of writing something of substance?

Reading: The Journey to the Sofa (Part 2)



From "Palm Springs Savant: Rick Rockhill"



     So once again I have done some writing but sidelined my goals to recoup from some busy weeks. This week I again look to connect with and/or read other blogs and see who others are progressing and perfecting their art. Below you will find a link to a blog along with my reflections on the post.

     This week I will be looking at "Kim's Craft Blog"

Nothing: Another Week Failed

     I had a simple task this week, read blogs, post some comments and discuss the experience here.  Like the clip above, I cheated and did not read any blogs, post comments or discuss them here; so this week I deliver a post full of nothing!  Well, alright... I'll post a little info about my lack of attention and poor time management skills. 

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.

Merry Christmas ~ Where has the Time Gone?

     It’s already the week of Christmas and I feel like Thanksgiving was only two weeks ago.  Time has slipped away.  I’ve been busy with work, family, church and all the other aspects of life that tend to fill the hours of the day.
