I\u2019ve decided to have another go at getting a proper blog post done today even though, due to sickbrain, I don\u2019t have the focus to edit the post I\u2019d drafted for this week ages ago. So this will be short. As well, I\u2019ve deleted a more ranty replacement post because it was absolutely useless to anyone. With a cooler head, if not clearer one, I just have this to say: saying screw it is sometimes ok.<\/p>\n

You can draft and outline, plan everything in advance, and otherwise prepare yourself for failure, but sometimes you crash anyway. Sometimes you miss a deadline, and even under the pressure to get it in anyway, can\u2019t manage because (for example) you\u2019re legitimately ill and there\u2019s not enough energy to get the job done. Sometimes you have to take a sick day, or sick week, or whatever. Sit back and read a book or watch a movie instead. And save that energy to say tomorrow, or next week, or whatever will be better.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m going to check this couple paragraphs off as another blog post done, because short can be useful as long as the words have a point. Also, I\u2019ve almost reached my 20k word count on the novel this month, so I figure I\u2019ve done enough of my writerly duty to not beat myself up about this little thing.<\/p>\n
