Mar. 18th, 2004 10:14 amwork is superquiet again, after our two hectic months. it will be like this until next february, pretty much. somehow, i always manage to avoid feeling guilty about how much time is wasted at work, how many other constructive things i could be doing with my time. my co-worker is writing a novel and getting her mfa in her spare time; another co-worker is a free-lance writer and always getting things published left and right.
i tell myself once in a while that i'll submit a round of poems to various publications, but i never mean it. i already got the carrot! if i've made money from my writing so far, it's only served to make me disinclined to get excited about being published. which is more legitimate? do i need to decide? do i need to feel guilty if the money makes me not care about being published? see, i'm too lazy to even answer those questions.
.
recent blog topics have included robots, john ashcroft versus savonarola, sex toys, and other incongruent words. i have no guiding principle in life. and also no attention span, today. what? peanuts. i need a haircut. grocery list. running shoes. soy sauce.
