I've been busy this month. Since joining blogit, I've discovered an area of writing that supersedes regular journal writing, and it's more motivating and stimulating, as well. It's amazing how an audience, however modest, can really kick you in the butt and get you writing again.
But I have other writing obligations, as well. I belong to two critique groups and had been doing fairly well with them—probably critiquing way more than I was writing, but it’s all part of the same thing. That is, I was doing well with them, until I started blogging. Just a couple days ago, I realized that I had not met this month’s critique group obligations at all. In fact, I hadn’t even given those groups a single thought, until whammo! I was due to submit a chapter and critique at least four others—all by the end of the month.
Oh crap.
I think it’s time to restructure. Blogging has been keeping me writing, but I’ve slacked off in other areas of writing, and I find it a little disturbing that I’ve cast my real ambition aside. Although, I can take a little reassurance that others in my critique groups have been extremely quiet during the summer months, too.
