I need a little inspiration perhaps... a kick in the pants to get off my ass and do something with myself rather than sit around watching bullshit TV feeling sorry for my life and how I got here. I was reminded today that I once wanted to be a writer, something I haven't really thought about for a very long time. The usual hemming and hawing about why I can't or shouldn't or what stopped me in the past, blah blah blah.. but fuck it. Even though this blog, started with the very same intent no less, has lain dormant for well over a year, I'm going to kick start it back up again and try a writing prompt a day for 2020. Who knows what may come of it, if anything.... who cares....
Why I know this will fail: I never follow through with anything and my self criticism is far too high for my mental stamina to keep up. Even now as I write this I find my attention wandering and my hesitation growing with each new word formed. The backspace has cleared out so many failed sentences already.... But if it fails so what. That's not the point of the exercise. What even is the point? Fuck if I know...
Whatever the case, that's the plan. One random-assed prompt at a time. I'll do a trial-run this coming week and see where it goes. Any bets how long it lasts?
