question exhaustion--especially your own

I'm back. It would be a pleasant fiction to say I consciously put this blog on the back burner. It's more like I sort of blanked it out of existence for a couple of weeks. Simply too tired to even look at other blogs, much less post to mine. :)

The "writing on the bus" strategy is going well. I won't say it beats being able to create in a non-mobile environment, but it cuts through my tendency to wait until...later...to complete a project and put unnecessary pressure on myself to finish.

I've never thought of myself as a procrastinator, so I'm a pretty messy one. No glorious excuses, proud affirmations of my style, or blaming others for my disorganization. Just muffled whining and crying about the shame of it all.

I'm starting a short project today editing resumes for an old client of mine who places technical writers and instructional designers in temporary jobs. The gig pays well, and can be done in little bite-size segments, so I'm happy.

I had set myself a deadline for getting my sales package for Bright Livelihood (the column) together by Easter, and I met it. I'm fiddling with editing and presentation, but probably need to set another deadline to make sure I start sending it out.

I've got a couple of other query type things to do after I get this other stuff rolling. The query a week plan is still on hold, but not permanently.
