Got accountability? Heh. Got a whip? Now I’ll be the first to say I don’t care for blogging but after thinking it over this weekend I realized that I needed a way to track my WIPs and keep me accountable. That’s why I’ve updated the format and content of my site to enable myself to do just that. Yes, I know, this sounds like a blog. We’ll it’s not, not really. It’s still going to be the same old site with poetry galore and the occasional story. Now, however, there will be WIPs and their statuses. Not a giant leap from where I was but it’s enough that I think it’ll work.

So what’s my goal? I want to write at least 250 words per day or at the very least a poem. Even with my busy schedule this should be an attainable goal. The key is keeping my backside in the chair and my hands on the keyboard. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be posting something everyday to detail what I’ve done for that day. Since I’m not a big blogger I’ll keep it short and simple:

Project: N/A
Words Written: N/A
Time Spent: N/A
Comments: N/A

There we have it. My commitment.

My confidence isn’t iron clad,
In all honesty it’s downright sad,
I question it every step of the way,
Will my writing be good one day?
In myself I know I should believe,
But easier said than to achieve,
How do I get my confidence to grow?
Hell if I happen to know,
What’s my writing’s true intent?
What does it all represent?
Should it matter if it’s only crap?
Should it matter if it brings a nap?
Be it a hobby or something more,
It certainly does call to my core,
I question if that’s really enough,
When my writing is so rough,
I’ve heard it needs only a polish,
They meant a good demolish,
I can’t find a magical fix,
There’s certainly no hidden tricks,
Alas to my utter dismay,
Practice they say is the only way.

Happy we are not,
Almost to the point of being distraught,
Forced to use what doesn’t work,
Flawed more than a mere quirk,
Stupid inadequate tools!
The designers were fools!
With no funds to really fix,
It needs to be removed from the mix,
Pressure is building by the pound,
And this tool has us bound,
I abhor this unruly thing,
And the frustration it can bring,
Into it I’d like to empty a clip,
No, I want to be free of its grip!
