that's how many works I have out now. Reprints and some new things. Slowly working my way to 50.

Anything to keep from writing

Sometimes when I'm writing on a regular basis and am really getting some things done (like finishing up these eight stories I'm working on-- or not) I find I start to proscrastinate, surf the web, visit websites-- ANYTHING as long as I don't write.

And yet when things are such that there isn't time/space to write, I'm upset.

Go figure.

I've wasted enough time this evening.
It's time to write.


And not on this blog.

Come, if you're able
