Discipline and Mush

MORE BLAH!!I am in John Thornhill’s Masterclass and I am supposed to be writing an ebook. I was actually supposed to have that done a while ago!

I have a niche, I have a passion, I know what I want to write, I know what I want to say, I know what I want it to look like so what’s the prob?!?!

I have the website, graphics, table of contents and a thousand ideas in my head of what I want to include in my book.

I just can’t write it.  I start writing and putting ideas on paper and it all just turns into mush.  Mush in my head, mush on paper, ideas are mush…just total, complete, undeniable MUSH!!

Sometimes, I actually just want to say screw it and forget the whole thing! In fact, I did, once. Then I look at how far I have come, how much time and energy I have put into this, what I really want to do with my life(that’s a BIG one!!) and I sit back down and get back to the mush.

Discipline.

Gotta have tons more discipline.

Self-discipline refers to the training that one gives one’s self to accomplish a certain task or to adopt a particular pattern of behavior, even though one would really rather be doing something else (stole this from Wiki)

See that “even though one would really rather be doing something else” part??

That’s me.

We only do what we really want to do. Human nature. Why would someone want to write a bunch of mush when they could be hanging out with the kids(they grow so fast!!) or on Twitter, Skype, reading other peoples blogs or helping a fellow blogger with ideas? That’s a total feel-good deal. YAY!

Writing something that looks like mush that gets your head spinning so fast you just wanna holler STOP!!!? Not so feel-good. BLAH!

I have gobs of self-discipline.  I have to.  Just not on this.

Time management? Got that down. Work all day, write when I can. Less sleep means more time to do. Duh! How hard could that be?

What do you do when you have to do something that is not so feel-good? Curl up in the fetal position and cry for your mama? Eat like there is no tomorrow? Have a little drinky or two (or 10?)??

Or something more productive like making a list of your goals for the day and sticking with it? Or writing out your dreams and aspirations and sticking them on your computer so you can see them everyday and remember why you started this in the first place?? Go for a bike ride? Cook like a chef?

What???

Let me know and I hope y’all have an AMAZING DAY!!! :)
