Tomorrow starts the “treat writing like it’s my job” phase of my life.

I’m going to spend at least 6 hours a day, 5 days a week not scrolling through Tumblr or watching Netflix or Hulu or YouTube or TV or my DVDs or playing video games or reading comics and just stinkin’ write.

What will I be writing? The time will be split up between writing stand-up, comics, music, and web videos. Because of the diversity of the creative activities, I doubt that I’ll have the time to get bored. I’ll most likely spend more than the alloted 6 hours, but I don’t want to give myself unrealistic expectations.

I need structure and something that is simple and achievable. 6 hours seems right in my head. Because I don’t have a “normal” job, I need to establish some parameters, else I’ll just be wasting time, like I do most days that I don’t have a scheduled obligation. I blasted through 12 episodes of “The IT Crowd” yesterday alone and didn’t accomplish much otherwise.

Tomorrow’s writing will mostly be focused on stand-up because I’ll be polishing off a different 5-minute bit that I haven’t been performing at the open mics thus far. After I finish writing this, I’ll start on the structure of the bit until bedtime (an hour or so). Then, it’s up at 8am to start my new journey as a full-time writer.

G’night, internet world. You won’t see me as much in the coming weeks, but I’ll still be around from time to time.

    could do with setting...each day too. Doctor What has been totally neglected lately.
