monoceros blogsAnn Arbor is getting cold. A little snow today and plenty of chills. I vowed to stay indoors to revise my essays. I'm bad at revision, and rather afraid of it. I've read all the comments from my classmates and professor, and have sketched a sketchy revision plan, but it's hard to buckle down and write. Half the terror comes from worrying about not producing anything good. The other half comes from time slipping away, reducing my chances of producing anything - good or bad - on the screen.
Writing good essays can be, for lack of a better description, very much like constipation. Why can't there be laxatives for writing?
Tomorrow evening, I have to attend a bachelorette party (strippers hired!) for a girlfriend. I best get my work done, and charge the batteries for my camera. Some wicked pictures soon!

Good luck with your essays! I know exactly the feelings you describe. Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm being a perfectionist or a procrastinator. Maybe both, or neither?
Love ya blog. :-)
Thanks, Adrian! I know I'm both a perfectionist and a procrastinator, a rather tough combination really!
Glad you enjoy reading! Very happy to have you visit always. =)
