Uh, Writing Is Hard . . .

I think I'm definitely going to focus on my noir novel for a while and let my play simmer and/or die a natural death. I've been posting reviews online and doing a lot of writing at work, but now I want to work on my own stuff for a while.

I had all these ambitions--each day I was going to write X amount of hours or X number of words and have a rough draft in X weeks. I got enthusiastic and then scared and then paralyzed. Which reminded me of two things my fabulous San Diego therapist used to say:

1 (with much affection and humor): "Do we have to go through this again?"

and

2: "Write when you can."

Oh, yeah.
