Your punishment is waiting

Reading so much is a curse and you know what I mean. I find too many interesting things that get me off tract and distract me from…..writing.  I’m going to get some of those  ‘horse blinders’ and noise canceling headphones and do nothing but write for extended periods.

I’ll finally get something done and quit beating myself up for not being productive.  Seriously, I have wasted whole days and late into the evening reading about the “next big thing.”  It’s kind of like having an illicit love affair with yourself….do you feel guilty afterword?

Sometimes you are ‘in the mood’ and sometimes not, but you always have this self imposed deadline or chain around your neck to write more, be more, and do more in your prime writing time.  if you could just write more, you could live in Trump Tower and be the life of the literary world.  Or at least be a beacon to your children or grandchildren after they come across your old manuscripts.  Sort of like Jane Austen’s rise to fame after she was gone.

There is a way and it’s pretty funny.  Effective, but fairly humorous.  It’s called Write or Die.  You just HAVE to go there and see if it will help you.

As they say, “we report, you decide.”  If you had a choice to either write or die i think I know what you would choose to be more productive.

Your punishment is waiting.

Next up, more on Ebook Readers or digital readers.  I’m telling you, Ebooks are a rising star you should hitch your wagon to once again.
