spryngFirst off, I suggested Lady add pictures to her M&M posts, and then she had to go and blow me away with writing a post about evolution using a zombie metaphor. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, I'm biased, and I freely admit it.
Day 29 - Goals for the next 30 days
Ooh, this one is a lot less vague and a lot more of something to get behind. I'll just make this the goals for April:
- Maintain diet
- Prove I am a worthy intern
- Put effort into one really awesome photo project for the month
- Learn to use my grandfather's old film camera
- Find and research 5 awesome agents
- Finish final GW revision
- Find unwitting friends willing to read and critique in exchange for cupcakes/photos/love
- Send Ana cupcakes/photos/love for her critique
Oh dear, that may be too much for one month. That's all right, some of those are ongoing, some of those I'm okay with just starting the process. But my ultimate goal for the month is to finish that revision. Yeah!
Speaking of GW, I'm currently stuck trying to decide how much to talk about it and the processes it is going through. On the one hand, writing about it and said processes helps motivate me to not only keep at it - because then I have to hold myself accountable for what I have and haven't done here - and to reevaluate what I've done by throwing it through one more filter as I write about it. On the other hand, I can see how letting myself talk about it may get very tedious and annoying and I do certainly believe in hiding creative endeavors away from the world while they are still fragile and boring.
Then again, I subscribe to other writers' blogs and find reading about their individual processes very interesting, because everyone goes about it in such a different way, and I love the posts especially that go into nitty gritty details (like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marissameyer does). So I have the hubris to think I could possibly constructively add to that conversation, or that someone might find it interesting. And you can see from that sentence that I have hang-up's about it and fear of a bloated sense of self.
Oh self. Shush you. You've already proven you're vain by even having this LJ. And yet, despite writing about my past and my future and my job and my anxiety, I can't seem to write about writing. Where is this hang-up truly coming from?
