I'm shaming myself; Also, I owe my book to a worm

That's what this post amounts too. I'm hoping that this post maybe shames me into encouraging myself to write tonight.

I usually write Sunday night - that gives me a head start on the week and I only have to write once more during the week. It gives me plenty of chances at a third session. Only I didn't.

Monday/Tuesday are other good days for writing, in that they aren't Friday or Saturday night. Which are traditionally busy evenings. They also aren't Saturday, a housework day, or Wednesday, the night Lost is on. Lost is the only show I drop everything for and I don't plan on ending that scenerio.

So here I sit, facing Wednesday night wihtout having written anything. Now, lost is an hour starting at 9 p.m. I usually write from 10 to whenever anyway, so its not entirely out of the question. Still, given my late start, I'm half thinking of taking the week off.

The hold up: My workout routine ends next week, and then I'm taking a week off from that. I was kind of hoping to clear all the heavy lifting off my plate that week and use it as a general "recharge" week. Or.... I could take off this week, and really, really do some heavy lifting writing during that week.

So what have I been doing? Ninja Gaiden mostly. This brings me to the second part of my headline. For weeks I was stuck on this one sub boss - a worm - in the game. It was discouraging, frankly, and led me to play less. I would either choose not to play, or play through once, die, lose interest and write. Now I'm flying through the game and enjoying it again. Its been a bummer as far a writing goes.

A final link of interest: Kindle 2.1 has been released, with a larger screen that better supports newspaper & magazine reading. A last, great hope for newspapers? Maybe.
