There are so many things that I want to do right now.
Right now.
This kind of desire creates a bottle neck. So many things to do and I just stop doing anything.
I work very hard to stay on track. Do. This. First.
But I want to...

Do. This. First.
50,000 words - however you get there. You are going to get there.
It's funny how I'm spazzing about this, but given a day x 1,666 minimum word count, I'm only 70 words behind that.
I just feel this sense of dread that any moment I could fall thousands of words behind. It's not for not knowing what to write either (is it ever?) it's all the other things I keep thinking would be so awesome to do when I'm writing.
I found this great avatar creation app. I spent all last night creating an avatar for each character in my story. It was so fun.
I found another one, two other ones today. I want to create all of them in that one too, so that I can get a broader perspective on their personality.
Why don't I just write that?
There's just something about looking at "auburn wavy hair, green eyes, burnt sienna skin" that looks SO much better in pixels than text. It says nothing about the character though, does it? Actually it does when I dress them up and put them in a background. I stared at the pictures and laughed and laughed as I could 'hear' them being themselves, just from an image.
I am supposed to be writing now. Pretty pictures later.
I actually found 'somewhere' to put the estate. Thing is, I can't ever just 'put' something somewhere. There's planning and such that I don't have time to do.
I am supposed to be writing now.
They are all related. All the things I want to do.
I have a game coming in this afternoon: The Witcher. I'm really looking forward to playing it.
My best friend finally grabbed Guitar Hero III. She can now bring her guitar over so that we can unlock the Co-Op fun stuff.
I've started a muscle training program. Five days in and let me tell you. Don't poo poo on the benefits of resistance training. Srs Biz
Not to mention I was studying for some certification training, but it fell off my importance meter. I have until February to be prepared.
Most of these things are compartmentalized. My best friend can only come over in late evening. The exercises only take 20 minutes a day. I can reach my word count in 2-3 hours, when I'm actually writing. I don't usually write at home, so playing games won't cut into that.
If I just stuck to it and got the writing out of the way in the morning I'd be okay, but I get so wrapped up in trying to figure out what the news of the day is.
Right.
More writing there.
Less writing here.
