We all need a little push, sometimes

So, I skipped my last two posting days, mostly on accident. I have a reminder set up to post, and I saw it, both times, and thought, oh, I’ll get to that later. Then later never happened and I missed it. And that’s the way it goes sometimes. I mean, I was beaten with a stick, because hey, we’re evil, but nothing truly terrible came of it.

But for me, that’s kind of a problem. I need those consequences. I need the deadlines and the push to achieve. Not that I’m a procrastinator and need the last minute surge of adrenaline to get things done – I’m not. But I need there to be meaning in achieving something. Because apparently letting down my fellow ELEWers isn’t sufficient to make it happen (Sorry guys).

And that’s probably why I’ve been slacking off on normal writing as well. I don’t currently have any deadlines, I don’t have anything under contract (which I arranged because I needed a break), but now apparently I need something to get me going again. I need to be held accountable to something, or else I’m liable to maybe not write anything ever again.

So this is me, telling the world that I’m going to start writing again, start submitting again, and start getting my shit together again. Don’t let me go back on my word, internet!

-Skye
