Butt in the chair

A couple of posts ago I mentioned how ass in the chair time never works for me. Well, today I'm trying to change it.

I blew a meeting with one of my advisors on Tuesday. I was told by my father that I was procrastinating and being ridiculous by having all sorts of travel adventures on my weekends and vacations. That I need to get my priorities straight. My response to all of that bull is PFFFLT!

My very good friend finished last Thursday and she did it on sheer determination. She showed up and I haven't been.

So, tonight, I've found real estate in the children's section of the local B&N. My only interruptions have been creepy elderly gentlemen who for some reason need to check out the children's history and religion sections of the book store (let's face it, they're scoping).
Now, I'm turning off facebook, ignoring twitter, & putting my phone away.
Next, I'm casting a circle and doing an adorable little ritual to cast out the doubts, welcome in the creative juices and supportive articles for my lit review and get my ass focused.
And I'm setting the timer, reminding myself that the process is a blessing and the journey is as enjoyable as I make it.
