Writing/Planning, (zaibatsu), 12/18/2018
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not the most organized fellow, and I'm OK with that. A
part of me wants to be the most organized fellow, but the
more dominant part of me doesn't care. I admire organization
and efficiency, and I aspire to them, but they don't come
naturally to me.
This morning, I was pondering on this little place called
gopher space, and how much I enjoy it. I've made an effort
to contribute when I can, to help it grow, and I want to
continue that effort. But my effort has been scattered. I
think I want to make an attempt to organize myself a bit-
not so much that I lose any of the joy or zest that gopher
gives me, but enough that I am more on top of what I want to
accomplish.
The first thought that came to me was to create a writing
plan for my various gopher holes. In reality, I would be
creating a writing plan for various subjects, and not gopher
holes; it just so happens that my gopher holes are divided
by subject. Still, it's probably better that I think of the
division as subjects, since that would be an easier thing
for me to consider in a writing plan (based on level of
interest, and a few other things.)
No one else would need to know my plan, it would just be an
outline to help me remain productive in writing. The hope is
that this would help me in other writing/planning areas as
well. Learning to be disciplined is a good thing, though not
a natural one for me. Now I just have to go and do it.
