Slipped Up

As I mentioned in my last post – this writing every day thing is really challenging me. I've missed days again. They seem to just escape me. I always had the intention to write as the day progresses; however, the drive drives by without stopping.

Sometimes I let it flutter away and others I sit there with the computer in front of me. I let the internet, television, and life around me distract me. I guess this is where the discipline comes into play.

In the last post, I wrote extra to cover for the days I missed. I don't think that is fair. If I miss days, I need to own up to it. The purpose of doing this is to help me discipline my writing – in style, length, and commitment.

Thus, my "make-up" theory this time will be to write about 200 words per post per day that I skipped. I'll have to check my calendar, but you should see this followed up by at least 3 more posts.

It's not that I can't sit down and write 1200 words or whatever I owe. That's easy for me. But now, I must write a post for each day which would force me to change topics.

Plenty has happened - lack of stories is not the issue. Now I must settle down, reflect, relate, and record.
