After a long and fun-filled weekend I’m facing a short week! What could be better? I got to work at noon and I’m taking Friday off. We’re supposed to see The Dresden Dolls. I can’t believe that it’s been almost two months of daily posting. I’ve also been using nothing but lyrics from The Dresden Dolls for my titles and I hope they turn out to be my good luck charm.
On that note, I’ve been giving lots of serious thought about this little diary. I have really enjoyed being committed to writing something everyday, but at the same time I feel like this pace is very hard to keep. Sometimes I want to go to sleep early or do the dishes, but writing for The Diary of Girl Friday always takes precedence. I’m not sure that makes me happy or makes a whole lot of sense. I’m really distraught with this diary when it takes time away from my other creative efforts. As you might have gathered from my incessant whining, I would like to write a novel and get it published so that someday I can leave my career in the Administrative Arts. In order for me to write fiction more often, something’s got to give. I’m afraid this means Girl Friday will be posting less frequently.
I do so love entertaining all 360 of you. My worry is that I sometimes post things that aren’t up to my standards just because I made a promise to myself to post something every day. I would prefer to post things worthy of the Girl Friday seal of approval. What are your thoughts?
Sometimes I don’t even get a chance to read everyday, so I can understand why writing daily can become a bit burdensome. Do what you need to do – you know I will always keep checking back in!
I like everything you write. But I also think Gilmore Girls should be on all day every day. Follow your heart & hopefully your heart leads you to a brillant novel that I will be a minor supporting character in. My character should always wear a cape & speak in the third person, see where that goes.
Do what makes YOU happy :)!
ps Those are lyrics from a LMP song too! Actually words she is saying at age 5 or so dubbed into the song.
