I feel like I've been in a creative rut for months. Every project I start languishes half-done or barely begun. Most of the projects I dream up are never even started. I'm bursting with plans for things I want to accomplish, from finishing that baby blanket I started months ago to brushing up a few of my favorite arias to writing that novel I've been dreaming of (see previous post). And nothing gets done.
Friends, I vow to you, that is about to change. I'm not going to live a half-finished life, and I'm not going to look back in ten years and say, "What on Earth have I done for the last decade other than read blogs and watch TV?" That will not be me. I won't have it. And I won't let the obvious excuses (kids, work, general laziness) hold me back.
I make this resolution to you, Blogland. I will write that novel. I will sing. I will finish that baby blanket. And while I'm doing that, I will make time to go to the gym. It might take some organization and a stronger work ethic than I've ever in my entire life exhibited, but I will do it, so help me.

I've been thinking this same thing since reading your previous post a few days ago. This past year, for whatever reason, I've become far too sloth-like. I need to kick that to the curb, blow the dust off a variety of half-finished (or never started!) projects, and have something to show for my days!
Onward! I wish you luck!
I'll make you a deal; if you start your novel, I'll start working on mine again.
You're on, Mom. I started my novel yesterday. Time to dust yours off.
You forget dear girl! What have you accomplished in the last decade? What about a solid marriage, a loving and by all obserations a devoted husband. And there are those two special girls that you have given the light of day. How's that for being productive. Add the lives of those like me who stand in awe of your abilities to keep so many "balls in the air" while remaining so sweet and lovable and I would say your doing just fine!Granpa Paul
Well said Granpa Paul!
