It's not only about writing...

Yes, I do sit at my computer all day and write.

Okay, that's a lie...

I write fiction, but there are the feeds to read...who's publishing what, where...what do agents want this week...what do editors want this week...what contests are available...should I enter a contest or spend my time writing?...

Forget all that, and get back to writing.

But what if I'm writing nonsense? That's right, I need at least one critique group to check in with weekly. But that means I have to read up to five other people's work and critique that.

Okay, that's a lot of work, but I probably need a second critique group, just to make sure I'm covering all the bases, one more specialized perhaps.

Oh, dear, I think I'm getting "sticky brain" just like one of my main characters. I guess that's an example of art influencing reality...or maybe it's something else.
