I am being a good ADD girl and taking my medicine.
It has helped me a lot with this big freelance project that is due to be finished in 48 hours and for which I am terribly behind and because of which I will probably have to pull an all nighter which is unhealthy and stupid.
It gives me energy and focus just as promised once I start the task. I do better for longer, once I begin.
It does NOT cure my horrendous procrastination and avoidance of starting. (When writing is dull, even though it pays, I sort of want to claw out my brains before I start. No excuse, pure immaturity. I do have a very good whine about it being for a poet like a sculptor being forced to make ashtrays for a living. However, I have heard that whine before. Got it memorized.)
So. I have been writing here like mad (loving it) and reading blogs and watching Dr. Phil and ... postponing the project to the point of insane urgency. I can do it, tonight and tomorrow, but only if I stay on it!
Since I will be up for hours and I know myself and I know I'll keep peeking in here because this is real and worthwhile and interesting and compelling and affectionate for me...I have a request for anybody who's up to it.
Would anybody who wants to tonight, and maybe tomorrow, pop onto this thread and write me some short (no labor needed!) encouragement that I can do this, I can really get it done?
It really would help. I probably won't even post a Thank-You, because that would be all it'd take to get me off and posting again blablabla when I have to NOT.
But I would be feeling a pat on the back with each one and a hug and I would be so very grateful.
much humble and kind of embarrassed (see Bear? Still got it!
) love,
Hops
