Write More Crappily, Write Crappily More

[youngthales]

There was a time when my blogging was more than a repetition of posts about book goals and problems with blogging. Problems blogging and book goals are all I blog about these days. It's a phase. It's all about book plans because right now I don't know if those plans will happen. My mind is always on making them happen. It's all about problems

Ha, I didn't realize it had grown into a movement. Unfortunately I haven't really lived up to my plan (not to say that I haven't been writing poorly)... I've hardly picked up the pace, and have really trailed off on my journal even moreso in the last month.

I have been so preoccupied with getting ready for my month away in Europe, and the details and errands that need to be completed for that, as well getting lost in my imagination about it, that my time online has significantly trailed off. Or at least, that is my excuse.

Really though, it is a difficult thing to commit yourself to. Everything in me wants not to write poorly. Your habits and standards can become quite difficult to break, even when they have become obstacles rather than expositions.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely I'll have much internet access during my month away either, so my journal will likely be slow for a while. Hopefully, though, the travels with cleanse me and give me plenty of new inspirations. I think it's just what I need right now.... When I get back, I really be ready to start over, without any apprehensions to write-- I will have lots to write about.

We'll see if this plan fares better than my commitments to write poorly went. I do hope I will shed some skin and be more willing to write poorly, and be a little green, upon my return...

Good to see you writing more lately :-)

We are all trying to be crappier. One can achieve a modest amount of crappiness alone. But together, I think we can sink to greater crappiness than we ever could alone.

And yeah, I kept noticing references people were making to your plan to write poorly.
