I am working to have this complete by the end of 2009. Time is winding down quickly. This is a great post Wade.

Because so many people wait till Jan. 1 or 2 to sign up for their gym memberships, knowing it’s going to be a failure, I was going to goad people into signing up Nov. 15. Before the holidays.

If people are going to commit to fitness, why wait till after the holidays and extra few pounds? Same with blogging. Write write write, then write some more.

You’re just too good a storyteller to keep it all in.

Great post, Wade, and really “perfect” for so many of us (pun intended, of course). Now did you have to post it right at the time of year when I can reach into my handydandy big bag of excuses to put off writing for yet another day? Santa’s not the only one with a never-ending sack…

Merry holidays!

Nancy

Sometimes, I wait for weeks for the perfect story to blog about. Then four things happen in one day and I don’t have time to write about all of them.

Really, the key is to just keep plodding along, and pretty soon you have a pretty fair body of work! Thanks for the reminder, Wade!

BTW, note my new url for the blog.

Happy Holidays, All!

Given the number of bizarro comments out there, I’m surprised that anyone puts much thought into their comments before hitting Enter.

Momentum is everything. And, although second-guessing yourself is acceptable, deca-guessing yourself is over-the-top. The same goes with commenting – I’m always playfully chiding my Mom because she quit commenting on my blog because she would spend so much time working on a simple blog comment, then second guess herself all together and delete it. Bah.

A mutual friend passed it along to me – and after close to a year of inactivity, believe it or not, I posted a new entry that very same day.

Here’s Richard’s post in response to this one.

I took a two-week sabbatical from writing following the completion of NaNoWriMo, and getting back into the swing of things is killing me. Momentum isn’t just for Newtonian physics and football games any more!
