We are all tired of my great plan to work on the website, and how excited I'm to do it and so forth, and how much I've not done it at all. My 'planning' of the entire process now runs upwards of 4,000 words, inching ever so close towards the 5000 mark.
Every 'genre' of writing that is to be done has been templated out to hell, all the structures have been created, I've setup the timetables and expectations and what sort of stuff should be done by when and when I should be worried I'm running behind the plan. The only thing I haven't done is assign the pieces for the days, and force myself to write articles to the day I've planned for myself, but that sort of micromanaging of self would be not very productive methinks.
All that remains is to write them out, and complete the website. Funny stuff, the total wordcount I'm targeting for the project is around 70k, and I've got 5k in planning already. If only I'd spent all that time and energy in actually writing instead of...writing about writing, and writing about that, but one can dream.
At this point, it's going to be really really really really hard for me to avoid doing this work because there's no way out. No excuse to look out for template for a certain structure and waste a day on that, or wondering what topic I might need to write on, or how it might show on my website, or ideate on the possible content on the website. All that work is done, and planned for. What's needed is the execution, the on-the-ground writing. Pen-and-paper, fingers and keyboard, word on the screen right from one's brain, and that's it. There's no running away, no hijinks. If I want a solid web presence, this is the way to go.
I must jump.
