Funny how dread itself can ...Did you do it, Asdis?<br /><br />Funny how dread itself can be a great motivator. Here's how it my mental dialogue goes on that:<br /><br />"Just HOW badly do I need to do that?"<br /><br />"It's pretty important. You know it needs to get done."<br /><br />"Any chance the elves will come do it while I sleep?" <br /><br />"Nope. They say it's your turn to clean THEIR bathroom. And while you're at it, they could use some new shoes. Get to cobbling!"<br /><br />"Well...um...I don't even know how to DO that."<br />"Guess you're on your own with the bathroom, then."<br /><br />"Let me just nap on that."<br /><br />"Sure. It'll still be there. Probably looking worse than it does now. Much more dreadful."<br /><br />"I suddenly see where the word 'dread-full' comes from."<br /><br />"Yep. Take all the time you need. I love watching your to-do list snowball on you and roll you down a hill into a big tree."<br /><br />"That's sadistic." <br /><br />"So clean the bathroom, already."<br /><br />At some point, I realize I'm tired of this conversation in my head. I want other, less tedious voices ringing around in my cranium. Usually, that means it's time for a nap. Muahahahahahaa!! No, seriously - clean the bathroom so you don't spend the week dreading it and having these nagging conversations in your head.Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795269967620406838.post-24126527155255823492011-12-11T06:35:19.643-06:002011-12-11T06:35:19.643-06:00At the moment I'm discouraged by my bathroom. ...At the moment I'm discouraged by my bathroom.

Just remember that it's not always about you or your skills; when it comes to writing and getting published, it's as much about the reader's taste and what the publication needs enough to pay for. It's so very subjective. Even if everyone thinks you're the BEST writer ever, you can't go wrong by practicing and perfecting your skills, lest they grow rusty from disuse.Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.com
