C’mon You Lazy Jerkball
Forcing myself to write is harder than I thought it would be. For some reason, I’m not as cooperative with myself as I had anticipated. I thought all it would take would be to settle in to my little writing nook, light some candles, flip open my laptop, go back into the kitchen to pour myself an ice cold glass of seltzer, sit back down in my nook, check my email, check Facebook, check Twitter, check my checking balance, check CNN.com, check ESPN.com, open iTunes, make a ‘writing playlist’, erase the playlist and just play ‘Amnesiac’ by Radiohead instead, inspect my cacti to see if they need watering, head back into the kitchen to fill a glass with water, head back into the nook to water the cacti, go back into the kitchen to put the glass back, sit back down at my laptop in the nook, check my email, check Facebook, check Twitter, and then voila, I would have gotten some excellent writing done! But apparently it doesn’t work that way. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I refused to write anything during that time. Lazy jerkball. Let me check again…yep, nothing. So, I need to figure out a better way to force myself to write. I think the first step should be to brainstorm ideas, and generally my writing nook is a pretty good place to do that, so all I need to do is light some candles, pour myself a nice glass of seltzer, flip open my laptop, check email, check Facebook, check Twitter, check my checking balance, check CNN.com, check ESPN.com, and refill my seltzer, and I should have come up with some excellent ideas as to how I can get myself to write ideas! I’ll let you know how it goes.
I think I’m going to start blogging again.
I enjoy Twitter a ton (@dubouchet), but I kinda miss being able to ramble a bit. In the years before I started to write for TV, blogging was my primary means of generating new comedy bits to perform, and since I stopped blogging I’ve also pretty much stopped coming up with new ideas for the stage, and that bums me out. So I’m going to try to become a blogger again. Alright, that’s enough for now. This is way more than 140 characters and my hands are exhausted.
