I\u2019ve gone\u2026 and done it again.<\/p>\n
(Note: I just spent 10 minutes trying to find a .gif of Kevin Spacey saying that in Se7en to use here, albeit unsuccessfully. This tells me two things. One: that line is far underappreciated by the general populace although it has gotten tons of mileage in my life. And two: I rarely get anything done because I spiral down the rabbit hole that is the internet\/social media whenever I\u2019m doing anything.)<\/p>\n
So anyway, what I\u2019ve gone and done is allow another long stretch of time to pass with no blog. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t write. I do write. Just not on my blog. I have to be gimmicky with myself. I have to set weird, concrete goals in order to make any progress on anything in my life. Period. If it\u2019s 3:15 and I don\u2019t feel like going and doing the stuff that I need to do, I have to say, \u201cOk, at 3:22, you are going to go do such and such. As soon as the clock strikes 3:22, no matter what.\u201d It\u2019s solid, it\u2019s specific, it\u2019s something I can count on. It may also be neurotic, but it\u2019s still true.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m doing this thing called Write Yourself Alive. It\u2019s just a 30-day writing challenge, meant to help you establish a daily habit. I already write, but in sporadic bursts. Some weeks a lot, some weeks none. I\u2019m hoping it will help remind me to MAKE time when I don\u2019t always feel like it. It\u2019s gimmicky, but I\u2019m ok with that. It runs from August 1st<\/sup> through August 30th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n So, the long and short of it is, hopefully you will see more blog posts happening. I don\u2019t plan to do one every day, but more than zero days, as has been my pattern lately. Wait, not lately. My whole life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve gone\u2026 and done it again.
