Ahem. Did I say four posts a week? Clearly, I meant just one. I’ve been guilty of neglecting this blog for the last few days, and so have the rest of the BQ contributors.

It seems like I only have so many words-a-day in me. I spend all day coding ColdFusion at work — not writing, exactly, but still words on paper — then I come home and write the occasional review, and THEN I research and write a couple of blog posts at the Other Blog. Add all of that up and I don’t have a lot left in me for the Bitter Quill, let alone my other writing projects. I’m prioritizing the writing that actually pays me, but that means that the writing that I actually enjoy suffers.

Any suggestions on how to break the cycle? Maybe an enforced period of BQ-and-ancillary-projects-writing on a regular basis? It’ll be just like when I was a kid my mother would make me memorize my multiplication tables for two hours every Thursday, whether I liked it or not, only now it’ll be me I resent, not her.
