tahariel: (Make something)

Suddenly, I see, this is what I wanna be. Suddenly, I see, why the hell this means so much to me.

This has been one of those evenings where I read/see/find something super cool that somebody else has made/done/written and feel very underaccomplished. I don't know about you, but it always makes my inner creative nut swell with bombastic cries of 'I'm going to do something super cool and then I will be accomplished, too! I will be so accomplished that I will be TOO AWESOME TO LOOK AT and people will TREMBLE WITH JEALOUSY AND THE FUTILITY OF THEIR PUNY LIVES.'



Then I go back to reading fanfic and musing over whether to hit up eBay for some awesome wide-legged jeans, and lamenting having to go back to work tomorrow, instead of harnessing my ego to the oxcart of Productivity and actually Getting Shit Done.

I'm going to tell you a story now:
a friend of mine has been talking about writing a particular book. she had a complete story, characters etc. planned out for years, but she never actually wrote it. and then about two months ago, she went into a bookshop, saw a book, picked it up, read the summary and it basically contained all that she had wanted to write. that's life kicking you in the arse if you don't get shit done. so GET SHIT DONE! WRITE! *evilstaringeyes*

(mind you: I know the feeling)

Aah! *is scared into productivity by the evilstaringeyes*

Seriously though, I need to spend less time telling myself to get my act together and more time actually getting my act together.
