Shoulda-Coulda
| Crazy title, I know. However, even though it's composed of created words, it fits the entry today, I should have, and I could have. But I didn't. "Didn't what?" you ask. "Write anything." is my honest answer. I've been doing good at getting in here and checking my email, looking around a little, and jotting down a short entry for my journal. I still need to be more active, reading and reviewing as well as writing a bit for my own portfolio. But time seems to be making things more difficult. Actually it's not all times fault, I still get the standard twenty-four hours in my day. Sure, some days twenty-six would help out immensely, but only if they are used wisely That right there, that's the problem, using my time wisely. There was a song some time ago by Carly Simon titled, Anticipation. The chorus to the song states: "Anticipation, Anticipation Is making me late Is keeping me waiting" Now, nothing against Carly Simon or her song, both of which are terrific. But in my personal case I think it should have been titled Procrastination, for that really is what's making me late and keeping me waiting. I reckon you could say, I've always been a bit of a procrastinator and I know it's not a good thing. I also know I should change this, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. That's where "Shoulda-Coulda" come in. I should have already managed my time so that I could do a bit of reading and reviewing, and I could have set aside some time to write a bit. Instead, I find excuses for not getting to things instead of changing things so that I can do those things I really need to do. Now, instead of droning on and on, I'm going to end this entry, post it, and then work on some notes for the writing I want to do. I have a subject, but not sure yet what it will develop into. I'm thinking along the lines of a poem, but it may come out in a short prose instead. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
