Minus the Spine


‘Fess Up Friday

The Literate Kitten is leading the charge on getting some writing done (or not) and then confessing on Friday. Having once been a Catholic school girl, I know exactly how confession works–you keep on the straight and narrow so that you don’t have to sit in the confessional long enough for anyone to notice. And if not, you admit what you did, let it go, move on and try and do better next time. Monday has sort of turned into my big reading and writing night, but here’s what I got to ‘fess up to this week:

-Monday I worked on the second section of my novel for about an hour and a half and then finished a book I’d been reading. After that, I wrote an inspirational quote from Haruki Murakami in my journal. (Yay!)

-Tuesday. Umm. Does Guitar Hero count for anything? Eh, no.

-Wednesday I went to a New Yorker panel about political satire and then me and my friend talked books and lit. (That totally counts, I don’t care what you say.)

-Thursday, i blogged. Friday too! I may write a review for the book I just read. And I started a new book of short stories this morning.

 Also, I’ve been thinking about whether or not I want to end this blog. I just have so many projects that I want to work on, but I haven’t decided if I’ve gotten everything I want out of working on this. When do you know when to say when?

I hear you on ending the blog — but I like the community. I’m just splashing and fumbling around right now…

It’s hard to figure out whether and how to blog. I am not struggling with the question of whether to blog right now, but I do think about how often and what kinds of things to say — I find I’m continually rethinking that question. I hope you settle on some answer that works for you!

thanks for the support! it is the community that is the nice part :)
i’m going to try to rethink my approach here, perhaps. it’s easy to feel burnt out on anything that has a daily need i guess.
