I admit it. I have a tendency to overplan. I’ll pile too many activities into too short a period of time, and then I’ll wonder why on Earth I didn’t get everything done. Case in point, this week. I badly want to get some writing done, but I’m overbooking the week in a big way. Already, Wendy and I have plans to visit writer friends tomorrow night. Wednesday, I’m considering a bike ride with my parents. Saturday, I might go to the movies (District 9) with my brother. Plus a few other activities that might fall into place for the next couple of days. The result, if everything I’ve set in motion comes to fruition: stop and go writing with too many interruptions. Maybe I need to pare down the plans…but doggone it, we get so little nice weather, and I’d like to make the most of it for a change. Maybe I should just forget the writing for the rest of the month, surrender to the Dog Days plans I’m making, and enjoy life for a while. But I don’t know if I can stand to do that for much longer! Aargh! At least I did a little writing tonight, over 500 words. I guess it’s a start. See you soon.
