“They may be valid, but they are still excuses.”
So, the above quote is not on a sticky, and I’m not going to cheat by writing it on a sticky just to put it on the blog. But this sentiment is exactly what I’m feeling right now. I got busy – Nano happened, the Holidays are happening, and general laziness happened – and now I’ve gone over a month without updating. That makes me hang my head in shame!
Last weekend I sat at my computer and thought, “hey, I should put up a new sticky”. It was Sunday, which is New Sticky Day, and I have three of them in plain sight next to my keyboard, but then I hoped onto the Barnes and Nobel site and ended up buying two books that I already own as gifts for someone else. And then I bought some more gifts. And then I visited LiveJournal to see how my friends are doing. And then we played Settlers of Catan and it was all over from that point on – my mind was off of writing and stickies and updating and instead was concentrating on how many more sheep and grain I needed to build a settlement.
They were valid excuses, all of them (especially Catan – you would understand if you have ever played), but they are still excuses. So I’m starting my New Year on Sunday with this resolution: I will post a new sticky every Sunday. Or as close to Sunday as I can get it when I’m travelling.
And with that in mind, I’m going to scan in these three stickies while I’m sitting here, and have the next sticky up on Sunday.
