Writing Plans
A few weeks back, before World Fantasy Con, I came up with a “five-year plan.” If you know me, you know I’ve been struggling with concentration and focus, problems erupting from teaching too many classes, not giving myself enough headspace, etc. This plan was to help me regain that clarity of vision, to help me write consistently and to do something with myself. I thought I’d share it because it seems that as soon as I put it to paper, at least one of the things I’d written for Year One occurred (and that is to get out of teaching composition by 2012). The image is below. I may not achieve everything on it, but I’m very close to hitting the higher points for Year One, so that’s encouraging.
And speaking of World Fantasy Con, I’ve written another post in that vein, but have decided not to publish it just yet. We’ll see. It has something to do with my reluctance to write, of fear of exposure, of letting others know too much. I never thought I’d be so self-absorbed as to worry about that problem. But it has appeared and I’ll have to overcome that issue if I want to succeed.
