Today I struggle. My goal, as previously stated, is to write at least one blog post a week, and today is the deadline. I never worked well with deadlines. I remember being in high school and frantically writing papers at the last minute in the computer room during lunch. I remember checking books out from the library the night before the report was due. Creative writing was always the easiest, because I could always just make something up on the spot. I’m a fast learner, and I think that’s why I always waited until the last minute. Also, I did not enjoy school. I wanted to learn at a different pace than the one I was being taught. Some topics I was already well versed in and felt bored with. Others I struggled with and needed more time to work on. The structure of my schooling did not really allow for this, as you were expected to learn at the same rate and in the same way as your peers. Part of the reason I left college was because I had hoped it would be different somehow but found that it really wasn’t. I’m just not a traditional learner, and once I figured that out, life became a lot easier.
So here I ramble, because I have given myself a deadline and I am desperate to keep it, if only for myself. And of course, I find myself writing about writing, which is one of my three favorite topics along with religion and theater. I asked my husband what I should blog about and he replied that I should write about not knowing what to write. Oh, Mark, you sweet, innocent little peach. I write about that on a daily basis.
And now, it is Saturday. I started this post on Friday of course, trying to meet my deadline and ultimately failing. I had little time yesterday as I had a test run for a job and went to my friend’s sex toy party, which would probably make a good blog entry, but frankly, I’m just not that kind of girl. So last night at precisely 12:06am I looked at my clock and sighed. The time had come and gone. As expected, I missed my deadline.
However, I got the job. So that was nice.
PS If there are any members of the WordPress family reading this, do you ever get a bunch of spam followers? Lately I’ve gotten several email followers that all have a string of letters at an outlook.com address. Thoughts?
