Pep-talk.

I've spent too much time on the internet.  I've let other things distract me.  I've let the writing slide.  I haven't cleared my mind, or my time, or my space the way I need to.

I've been comparing myself to other writers too much.

I've been waiting for confirmation from publishers.

I've been second-guessing, overthinking, and doubting myself.

It is time to get back to writing, where the writing is the focus and to hell with everything else.

So that is what I'm going to do.  I'm clearing away the rest of this month to do nothing but writing.  

Cool.  I think I'm ready for it.
