Jeanie Writes Genre

Hi there. Remember me?

I wrote a leetle bit over the weekend. And I've written other little bits here and there over the last few weeks. So I can claim that I'm still writing, but it's pretty sporadic, I must confess.

Part of it is that I started up the paid blogging again. I really can't say that I entirely enjoy paid blogging, but it's easy money, and I've already paid off about a thousand dollars worth of debt this way, so I'm considering it my penance for getting into so much debt in the first place. So now my excuse for not writing (and for neglecting my "just for fun" blogs) is that I'm having a hard time balancing it with the blogging. And work and marriage and my sick dog and knitting and blah blah whine real life is hard.

I've also been ultra-ADD lately, but I'm starting to get that back under control.

So, no more excuses. I've got to kick my own hinder back into gear. I don't remember which of the Nano pep talk cheerleaders last year said that their goal is to just write 10 words a day (the theory being that once you get ten down, a few hundred or so more won't be that hard), and I'm adopting that goal. I didn't have time to squeeze in even ten words today, but I've given myself an assignment to tackle them tonight before I go to bed. I'll let you know tomorrow how I did.
