About that writing thing

without comments

Ostensibly, this blog was started as part of my 500 word a day discipline challenge. Unfortunately, this blog has continued long after the 500 word a day challenge fell to the wayside. But the words are starting to flow through my veins again.

So, this is not an open committment or anything, rather it’s me thinking out loud. What sort of tricks can I play on myself to keep up the effort?

It’s a funny thing–a little bit of accountability can go a long way, but a little too much can demotivate me. I guess the challenge will be figuring out how to walk that line. You spouses of writers take note… We all wish we didn’t have to lean on you, but we do. We love you though, and we hope it pays off as much as you do.
