Stare at the computer. This time I'm going to do it. No
procrastinating. Nope. Nuh-uh. Gonna write.
Better download mail first, just so I'm caught up. *Then*
I'll write.

OK. Write. Here I go. I left off with the end of the Shasti
dream, and I know exactly where I'm going. I've been plotting
for three weeks now. I've got my outline. Here I go.
..
Damn, I really want to see what happens in Younger Venus. And
I haven't finished Stained Glass Mind yet, either. I better
read those, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate.

This isn't going well. It's the middle of the afternoon, and
I haven't written anything. Damnit, why not?
*sigh*
I can tell this is going to be one of those days. One where I
just don't write anything. I can sense it.
So maybe it'd be better if I start fresh tomorrow. Since I'm
telling myself that, I'll follow through with it. Up at 5am,
and to the keyboard. Write, write, write.
Ooh, another great idea for a fic. Better add that to my
backlog of things to write. Maybe I'll post a preview to the
FFML, just to make me feel guilty and get me writing.
So: no writing today. But tomorrow...boy, am I gonna write.
