After a lot of hard thinking on the subject, I’m crying uncle. I’m going to put this writing 250 words thing to one side, at least for the next few months.
I’ve got a lot of reasons and excuses, a few of which I will now bore you with.
1. I am lazy
2. I already have a bajillion hobbies
3. There’s shit that needs doing
4. I’m not very good at writing
5. I find myself pretty strapped for ideas
So, that said, here’s the plan:
I’m going to put this on hiatus for at least 2 months. In the mean time, I’m going to think about the process of writing, maybe even write a bit without a word count staring me down. I’ll try and read some quality writing with an eye for what makes it good. I’ll carry a note pad and write down any ideas that come up, as they come up.
Around the first of April, I’ll try it again. If I stick with it, I’ll take the project on for 12 months, ending in April 2013 (insert stupid end of the world joke here).
That’s it. I’m done, for a while. I hope you aren’t too disappointed in me.
