Ok, I survived my first writing spurt this morning: 620 words. Topic. Why am I afraid to write my next story? Answer in short: Being afraid of mediocrity, being afraid of people who just shake their head and asking what that was for (writing some that mediocre and immature or so). Something like that (in a very brief nutshell). I guess some of the next few writing updates will go into by website (I made some technical updates recently, now I may just post stuff again).
One other thing: I contacted the service at stickk.com yesterday to change my commitment to charity. If I fail I will pay 50$ to charity (for every week that I fuck up) if I succeed it's 5$ )
Charity = one of these (selected at random)
American Red Cross
CARE
Doctors without Borders
Feed the Children
Freedom from Hunger
Multiple Sclerosis Society
UNICEF
United Way |

I also put this thing into reverse by adding another commitment:
"NOT writing daily"
I commit to:
Not writing a few words every day! I won't do this for at least 25 minutes daily and won't achieve 100 words or more. (This is a reversal to my other commitment - By writing daily I will fail on this commitment, do good and give some money to charity, if I succeed with this one though an undeserving footy fanclub will receive my hard earned cash instead).
So if I do good, I do good, if I do bad I will do even worse (the bad and worse was the thing that someone called negative and nihilistic btw) |

Jo, I'm quite interested if this works out or not. I really want to write daily but well... I always found a reason to put it off and I guess that I got a good reason now not to. Giving a decent sum to a football fan club really hurts (given that I'm not a football fan really and if I was: Chelsea beat Bayern Munich, my hometown's club in the Champions League finale last year). Is that reason enough? I'm really not sure on giving the money to something uncharitable though... I mean... I don'T want to give money to an anti charity but I'm playing with fire or am I not. Ok, a footie fanclub is not evil but I was told that it might be slightly nihilistic, quite a bit negative like "If I fail, f&/k the world or something. But is it like that? What do you think? |
