I’ll be competing at the 10th Annual Mesa National Slamoff on April 29th at the Del Sol Reception Hall in Mesa. Right now I’m completely unprepared. I still have eight days, but I don’t know if I’m going to be able to manage that time in such a way that enables me to perform to the best of my ability.
I’m not happy with any of the work that I’ve completed at this point. It’s been too long since I’ve written; invariably, I end up hating my work a few months after its conception. I shouldn’t even mention the fact that none of my writing was designed for a slam audience. I prefer the open mic environment.
This next week I’ll work on finishing a few new pieces I’ve put on the backburner. I’ve just had such a hard time concentrating lately. There are usually a dozen things on my mind at any given time, and I always feel like I should be doing something more productive. I have a hard time relaxing into it like I used to - probably because I used to do most of my writing at work.
I need to sit down and produce a schedule that will allow me to manage my time more efficiently. This will allow me to remove some of the stress from my mind, and allot time specifically designated for creative outlet.
