Time to put my fingers where my mouth is. One of the things I am getting out of the Martial arts thing is consistency counts. It took me close to a year to get to this point which is about the half-year mark as far as actually doing anything.
One bit of encouragement is none of my pants fit me anymore, going in the right direction. I’m not back to my pre-Lynda weight, but I am trimming down, more so than I have been in years. The upside of this is I am able to train consistently and see results which encourages me to work harder and do more in a more efficient manner.
The goal of these little missives at this point are primarily for myself, but also to show the progress and get the mind back into fighting, writing, snorting shape. Cranking out words of blather, self-indulgent and otherwise is part of the process to be sure, but eventually the mind has to get back to a sharper edge and a more focused approach.
It’s the sort of thing I think about, in terms of getting off the couch and sitting my ass down and writing. Writing about writing is only so interesting to myself and the goal ultimately is to reach out and actually have people read these things. One thing that did surprise me before my last go around and fall down, was the amount of folks that were showing up on my site exceeded the amount of people I actually know. Which is cool, and a bit frightening, humbling and all that jazz, if you will.
Anyway, I’m starting to need to get on the road, if I am going to make Menlo park by 7 to make a blog event and then maybe later tonight, blog about it.
