Write Now!

I haven't been the typical writer. I don't write every day like I'm supposed to. I don't even write every week. Well...not on my novels anyway. I'm trying to write once a week for both of my blogs (this one and the one for authors). But I can go months and months and months without writing on my novels.

I should be writing RIGHT NOW, and write now (Heh. Heh.), but I'm sidetracked with all the time that I have to catch up on my TV shows (Once Upon A Time, Fringe, Grimm, Spartacus and very tempted to try to catch up on Eureka and Warehouse 13). Something has to give. I just got too many shows distracting me. It's really bad because I don't have cable so I'm not glued down to weekly times and dates. I let everything build up and then try to watch everything at once.

What am I doing between building up shows to watch? Catching up on my Netflix 3-movie rotation.

I'm a bad, bad, bad writer.

What's worse is that ALL of these distractions just suck away from my art of writing. When I do finally sit down to write, everything sounds so amateurish and feels like a jagged rock trail. It doesn't come out smoothly at all. I found myself editing past writing more than adding new material.

Bad Writer.

Eventually, I get back to the novels and I use these shows and movies to "jump-start" me back into my storytelling.  These are those times where I wish I had more time to relax, to then have the time to write. But time always seems to get away and there's never enough of it.

Oh well. Back to my shows. Oh. You thought I was going to say I'm going to write? Hm.. Maybe tomorrow.
