What's on my mind....

Dear Me
Just got finished writing a letter to myself. It was for a writing contest, but it was an excellent exercise in self-examination and resetting priorities.

For once, I actually wrote down some committments (I hate the word "goals") for myself. As a rule, I don't believe in that sort of thing; up to now, it seemed kind of anal, at least for me. But I really do need to get out of this drought I've been in with my writing. I think it's become a habit more than it is any sort of Writer's Block.

I tried to keep the commitments reasonable and attainable. I also tried to focus on things that even if I wasn't trying to get back into my writing, they'd be helpful to my personal growth in general. The next step is to condense the letter into just the commitments themselves, type them up, and put them where I can regularly see them.

I wrote letter on Sunday and I've been trying to keep to what I said in it. So far, so good.
