I thought I was going to be three for three. Because yesterday I wrote and the day before I had a good day too. I had promised myself that I would finally get to work on things this week and I’d kept my commitment. One shiny gold star for me!

I have been working my way through editing and adding scenes and generally progressing in a forward (ish) direction on the Big Project.

But today? Today seems to have slid away.

However, I haven’t given up all hope yet, not quite yet. I just pulled out my Writer’s Book of Days by Judy Reeves and read the first line;

A stranger to New York city, looking for directions, asks a man on the street, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?”

“Practice, man,” comes the response. 

As I write this, I realize that what I’m really doing is making my resolution public so that I’ll have to do it. If the truth be known, I do this fairly often in writing these posts.

Once I’ve put something “out there” in the blogosphere, I feel compelled to follow through.

So. There it is. I’ve said it out loud. Now I gotta go.

I’m making myself a coffee and keeping my commitments to myself. As the L’Oreal ad declares, “Because I’m worth it.”
