This week is the first week I'm experiencing life without a nine-to-five. I finally have some time to really think about what I want to do with the rest of my life. Some deep soul-searching if you will.
Yesterday I managed to to practice the art of procrastination from the time I dropped the boys off at school until it was time to pick them up. I picked up my copy of Immediate Fiction by Jerry Cleaver (which I swear is going to help me become the greatest writer I swear I'm going to be) but after glancing over a few pages I remembered I had a quite a few events to enter on my new addictive past time Covet Fashion. Then I remembered I didn't harvest my wheat on the other game app I mistakenly added to my Kindle, Township. Combine those two games and a marathon of Gotham and The Mysteries of Laura on Hulu and there you have my entire "work" day in a nutshell.
So after yesterday's activities, I have decided to get off my arse and figure this thing out. I have decided from this day forward to immerse myself in the world of literature. Do my research. Familiarize myself with authors I admire. Organize my own work. Bring my stories from their hiding place and actually work on them. Lastly, as much as I fear what the aftermath may entail, remove the distracting apps from my Kindle. (My hands are literally shaking at the thought. Seriously)
