BEDA

Oh hey.  It is April.

I hate April.  T.S. Eliot wasn't fucking around when he said it was the cruellest month.  

I've been having a really rough time motivating myself lately, and I think it's because I don't have enough to do.  Some people thrive under pressure, I thrive when I'm constantly busy but still have enough time to sleep at night.  Lately, I haven't been busy enough.  I have time to slack off, so I do.  The problem is that I have trouble stopping slacking off and getting back to work.  It's killing me.  I go to bed every night feeling like a zombie from staring aimlessly at my computer screen all day.

Starting yesterday, I'm going to get on with fixing my life.  I'm going to get back into some good habits of exercising and playing clarinet more often.  I'm also going to commit to some more demands on my time to cut down on the amount of slacking off that I do.

There's this thing that happens in April called Blog Every Day April.  I don't really know a lot about it, but I know a lot of YouTubers/Nerdfighters do it, so I assume someone in that crowd started it.  It's a lot like National Blog Posting Month, except in April, not November.  But I'm already a day late, you say, and aren't I worried about doing what usually happens during NaBloPoMo and losing interest and posting utter shit and a whole bunch of filler posts?  Wrong!  I am now blogging in three different places.  This means that I already posted yesterday, just not here, and also that I can spread things out a bit more, and have a little more guidance and structure to my writing.

I write the Tuesday posts on a group blog called Sisterhood of Nerdfighteria, so that covers one day a week.  We usually have weekly themes, too, so I don't even have to come up with topics for that one.

I expect to be able to write two or maybe three decent quality posts per week, which will go up over on Gnomes at Night.  That leaves me with three or four posts per week here, so I guess I had better increase my pop culture consumption, eh?
