So, it's been a tough couple of days. I'm blaming the heat on the lack of actual work down but maybe the heat is only partly to blame. Maybe it is just me, and my tendency to want to take the laziest path possible. And sitting on the couch watching 30 Rock seems like a much better option than sitting at my desk and doing some actual work. It sometimes just feels too hard. And while I sit on the couch, the voice of doubt starts to creep in, getting louder and louder until very very quickly, it all looks a bit hopeless. Actually quite a bit more than a bit. And then it all crumbles to pieces.
Thank god I started this list. It's a constant reminder that motivation and achievement are hard won battles that need constant attention.
So, the first two days of the week were pretty much a write-off except for the writer's residency application but I got back on the writing horse this morning and am working my little heart out on the enxt draft of a full-length play New Light Shine and am starting to make some real progress on it. I hope to keep working on it for the rest of the week and have a whole chunk of it done by the end of the week.
It looks like I'm going back to day job work next week so I need to get myself prepared before the majority of my hours is taken over by soul-sucking tasks. Oh, the humanity.
Back to the battle.
I've created a list. I'm calling it the 210 List. I'm hoping to cross everything off it in 2010 and in the process, change my life.
