Scrivener
Have the guys at Literature & Latte finally got the writing right? And do I have to buy the Mac, after all? Hmm.
the depth of my Sith
Awkay, now's the time for you to know how badly organized I am.
It's been almost two weeks I decided to wrtite a long-pondered novel this year and all that came out so far is one page and a few notes. Ok, the maybe the plot needs some clarification anyway, but there's more. There's also a manga scenario I should: I want to be working on. And the only thing I've done for that lately was buy some runes.
It's not that I shouldn't rehearse for my writing, it's just that I shouldn't be doing a lot of other stuff. I spend much more time on the net than I do on my projects. I play games that I thought I abandoned in September. I procrastinate on my not-really-that-promising job so it keeps slipping to the later hours when I'd better to be working on the projects that should get me out of it.
I probabely should come up with some numbers, but I don't even measure my time decently. SlimTimer is a terrific app but I keep forgetting about my timers all the time.
I lack both focus and self-discipline. As often as not, after I made a decision I do quite the opposite right away.
I've got other nasty habits. I'm much more used to reading, watching and listening than to writing or drawing or something. I've got writer's block as well as talker's block. I can't usually keep my attention still for 5 minutes. I don't eat healthy and I don't exercise much so my energy is low. That hypostasis is everywhere: in my music lessons, in my relations, in my spiritual growth. It's a deep pit I'm in, and my dreams are way too high.
It's gonna be a lot of good fun to get up there.
I don't know if I come across some unique insights or recipes. I mean, Steve Pavlina, David Allen or Merlin Mann, to name the few ones I know, are way ahead with that kind of stuff. If I do, anyway, I'm gonna post it under 'growth' tag.
I'm also going to post some tedious everyday data under 'log', in case you're that curious. And I'm looking forward to some major climbing.
So help me God.
2007 primary project
I was ready to decide it anyway, so Steve Pavlina’s article was just about right on time. And the primary project is a novel that I’m contemplating for five? seven? eight years?
There’s probabely more writing to be done this year, but the novel is the must.
