I deeply considered dropping the ball on the blog tonight. It would have been so easy without the server. As it is, these late night posts are bunk. I’m drained and incapable of doing what I need to this day, but I am still here and hammering out the work that needs to get done.
My heart is set on developing a plan for the future—a plan to develop myself as a novelist and put out some more short stories outside of the Shadowrun realm. This of course, all adds up to me putting more focus into being a writer. This means finding a way to be more structured and responsible in all of those other areas of my life and consolidating some of the things I do. It also means cutting back to a certain extent.
Most of all it means taking advantage of my surroundings in terms of the people around me, home life, and the opportunities I’ve been presented as a writer to develop my name (which is a writer’s brand) and hone my skills to be better than I’ve been before and develop a production schedule that allows me to not only be good but to be regularly productive and proactive with due dates.
These are just words so far, and I’ve written a lot of them over the years. Time to move beyond the words and into action.
