This is where mental rigor mortis sets in. I can’t do it all at once. So what do I do? Nothing. Well, here’s where the something begins. This is something, right?
This isn’t an advice column, but here’s some advice. I don’t claim to be one of those high IQ, geniousy guys, but I learn from my mistakes (doesn’t necessarily mean I alter my behavior accordingly). Knowledge without action is like a vape without a coil. You can suck all you want, but you won’t get the desired effect. Shut up, stupid. Don’t talk to your readers like that. I wasn’t, I was talking to you.
Hey! Oh yeah, the anticipation of doing a thing is almost always worse than the actual doing of a thing. Almost…always. What? Tell you something you don’t already know? I can’t. I’m not an expert in you. I’m not even an expert in me. What I will tell you is writing this post feels a hell of a lot better than stressing about needing to write a post. Writing my book feels better than lamenting its stagnation. Researching freelance writing careers, no matter how overwhelming and daunting, kicks researching the dark crevices of my mind right in the ass.
Is this a good post? I care not, but it is. Are my novels really any good? They’re solid friggin gold bars of Bad Ass. Go to http://www.badassscifi.com to learn more.
What about you? You’re beautiful. You’re a powder keg of potential! Now go! Explode! Shower the world with bloody chunks of goodness!
Now blow, I’m going berserk on a book!
