....Especially when you are not taking any course of action- any physical course of action- to get your intentions developed into success.
I am talking about my lack of responsibility with this blog. I have all the intentions of committing time to it, and yet I have done nothing. I had been planning on using this summer to start a writing career, to start a project, to find out how I can get published, and have done a little more than nothing. I had planned on submitting a work in progress to a writing contest, yet that work has not progressed, despite my best intentions. If there were simply a way that I could get all my thoughts and ideas recorded without having to actually physically do something, I know I would have at least two or three best sellers by now.
This is my issue: I never take the time to sit and write. I do not have it scheduled into my day, and I need to start scheduling it into my day. This is my problem: I feel as if there just are not enough hours in the day, as cliche as that may sound. There aren't. Especially when you are planning a wedding, starting a new job (although it is part-time), and finally trying to enjoy the sun that has decided bless us with its presence after a long and rainy June.
Today, while preparing for a training I am attending tomorrow for my new part-time job, I was reading about problem solving. How to select and reach a goal, how to avoid the obstacles, how to stay positive. It instantly made me aware of my goal to be a writer and my lack of writing in the pursuit of said writing career. Instead of saying "I want to be a writer but I have no time to write," or, "I want to be a writer but have chosen to go to the beach instead of write," or simply, "I want to be a published writer but my actions would indicate otherwise," I need to commit time to writing. I need to rephrase my thoughts, reframe my mind, and plan to add at least an hour a day dedicated to writing. This hour may end up consisting of nothing worth reading, but I will get the proverbial juices going, and hopefully, and just maybe, one day, I will write enough hours and spend enough time both inside my head and outside of it, to become published.
