Powering Through...

... is what I keep putting off and what I must now do in order to reach the 50,000 word goal by midnight next Tuesday afternoon, July 7, 2009.
One thing I have discovered so far is that my talents for distraction far exceed my talents for composition and that there is always something to do.
In the future when I am bored I will simply give myself some unachievable, yet emotionally compelling goal and watch as all the chores and delights and mid-day TV shows reveal themselves like rows of jelly beans in a candy store.
I am also a kind of a mess as a writer.
I don't yet have a style or a real presence of mind when it comes to plot.
And I'm often too wordy when describing things that neither propel the plot nor deepen character.
Maybe I should go into advertising.

Anyhoosal, To The Keyboard Distracted Man!
