The Dangers of the Past.

I've noticed that I've fallen into one of my ruts.. I'm living in the past to much. "When I was in the Army," "When I was sick," "When I wrote Ground Forces"... I'm using things I have done before as an excuse not to do things now.

That should stop. Things are looking up again. I've got some good ideas for writing (and the line editor is asking me for help on his book!) I've got a lovely wife, a girlfriend, and now another amazing woman flirting with me (what happened? Did I turn 36 and suddenly become a sex god?) I'm relatively healthy for someone who has been what I've been through, so no more excuses!

Get to work, you slacker! Write!

I will cheerfully (and quite snarkily!) claim whatever credit [livejournal.com profile] clairaide and I deserve for getting you and [livejournal.com profile] kshandra out of your ruts!

And here I thought you were the one who got me in rut.... *gd&r*

Oh, you were rutty before I ever showed back up!

Heh. Where's the "Official Ass-Kicker" badge for my Castle Erewhon livery?

Don't tempt me.

Well, any more than usual.
