This One Has To Stick (That's What She Said)

I have to admit - I'm finding it hard to finish things these days. Well, not so much these days as ALWAYS.

I'm currently embarking on a "writing fiction" escapade. Hence why I jacked in my journalism career some months ago to work in a bar and spend my free time writing stories. Trouble is, I've got a handful of stories and only TWO of them are properly finished.

It's not that I'm a quitter - I'm certainly not. If that was the case, I'd have shipped off back to Brigg a few months ago with my tail between my legs.

I'm like the hare - sprinting confidently at the start of the race but ultimately end up becoming distracted and thus, lose the race. I mean, I'm the hare minus the cockiness.

Take this blog, for instance. This is my second one in a year. I couldn't bear to carry on with my last one (on Wordpress) because it just didn't seem to fit anymore. The title was bugging me. No one was actually reading it (except for my good friend Alle because she's the only person I told about it). And the whole premise of the blog started off under the influence of falsities. I mean, I said I was going to start writing on it frequently (I didn't...there were many month-long hiatuses) and I also said I'd bleed my thoughts onto it without care (I did...but only sometimes).

So. What to do in this situation? I decided - hey, start a new one altogether.

I have presently convinced myself that it is because blogspot is easier to use than wordpress (this, however may just be another one of my distracted excuses...time will tell on this one) but this time, I'm really going to venture to be a bit more committed to it.

Perhaps having a real "blog" spine will spur on some more dedication to finishing some of my fictitious works, right?

So, that's my two-cents worth for now. Or at least that's my self-motivational speech out of the way.

On a separate note, I'm currently watching re-runs of Saturday Night Live. I'm watching the very first season, and Holy Crap is it funny. I forgot how hilarious it was.

Raquel Welch is hosting this one and she's wearing a white suit and looks amazing. Oh and she just started singing and then John Belushi came on as Joe Cocker and sings with her. Awesome.

I think I live in the past too much. Must stop this.
