It's 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013. I overslept this morning, which is to say I ignored my 6 a.m. alarm and just woke up a few minutes ago. Nevertheless, I can still keep my vow to write from 7:30 to 12:30 if I just get right to work.
Writing is hard work, and I need to show up and do my job every day. I am confident that if I put in the work, I will succeed.
Afternoon update: It was a slow start, but once I got rolling I couldn't stop. First I wrote a little essay that was on my list. It's called "And When I Die." It's been on my mind for a while, and I'm glad to get it written. Then I began writing my prospectus or proposal to Pearson for The Elements of Academic Writing. I located their guidelines and started composing the proposal. I was so wrapped up in it that I worked until 2:30--long after my scheduled time to quit.
A running buddy suggested gong for a run this afternoon, but since it was 17 degrees at noon, I said, "No way!" I see it has warmed up to a balmy 26 degrees this afternoon, but I still don't feel like running outdoors today. Perhaps tomorrow.
