Well, It was my birthday a couple of days ago. 39 now, on the slippery slope to the next major milestone. The day was spent with my wife and was going to be a Flamingo land visit, we got there to find it was nearing the end of a 2 week close down (I didn’t know they closed) oops. We ended up driving to Darlington and went shopping. All in all the day was good. It makes me think about what I have been trying to achieve for the last few years, Writing, Web, Losing Weight, playing games. I have allot of things I start…. I just don’t seem to be able to keep any of it up. When I watch the videos of J.K. Rowling and how she wrote those books it makes me want to kick myself for the lack of motivation I have with writing. I see pictures of myself before I got big and I want to kick myself, I read my Linux magazines and want to create better servers, or build websites. Instead do you know what i do…. nothing! This blog is littered with declarations of me saying its time to do blah blah!!
My other failure this year is NaNoWriMo, although it was by choice. I did quite a bit of planning for this one but when it came time to write I got well ahead so by day 3 I was the equivalent of day 10. But I wasnt gettign intot the story and just could bring myself to carry on with it. I also didn’t want to start something last minute either, I like to plan. So I decided not to participate this year, I am a little sad I never got to finish but I think I need to put more time into my “how to” books to being my craft up a bit before I will be happy with what I can produce.
Onwards and upwards…..
