Who has time to edit?
The day started at 5:30am.
It is fall and I sleep later in the fall than the warmer months.
I had a follow up meeting. Two old GenXers doing a boomer mansion remodel. Kinda Grey Gardens meets early TLC “We bought this house and for the first ten years we just lived in chaos), or what I like torefer to as “Excessive lead and asbestos exposure.”
To say my day got back to normal would be not true. I just changed rails and hurled my work train towards what I should have been and had a long day of it all.
My day usually starts at 6:45am. I have a new ritual. I get up, I do some work, “I check in” as I like to say. In the evening “I check out”. I only work for thirty minutes to an hour. It is a good time to orient and also sift around for the hanging chads.
I then move on to writing. Whatever is in my head I try to write. I’ll go about thirty or forty minutes. If I have time I might then cruise the web, but fuck that Internet. It seems to be eating away at people and ruining their lives, so i think I’m out for awhile and going to minimize my exposure.
After not wasting two hours on the internet. I then go walk for half an hour. After all of that it is 9:30 and I work till 5pm. Later in the day I repeat: work, workout, write.
The four horseman
I think rationalizing, laziness, fear and delusion are the four horseman of our times. If there was a fifth it’d be our inability to resist the internet.
Bits…
When do you edit when you barely have time to write? With KungFu I had a good “Let it all out!” way about me. It was so dense I could tease article after article out of just one session of writing. When would I ever go back and edit?
