Week in-Week out

So I'm going to try something new. Not on here, necessarily. In the past few months I've been trying to write at work on my netbook and I tend to get stuck or frustrated that I'm getting anywhere. I'll bring it into the break room but the noise will be so much (and it's not even that much) that I cannot concentrate. But I've been forcing myself to try every day.

This week though I haven't done any writing at work. So I decided what I might do at work, to keep my mind stimulated and my creative self working, I would alternate. This week I'll read, the next I'll write something, the following week I read, and so on and so forth. I think that's a pretty good plan. It'll keep things from being the same all the time, and I get books read that I would not otherwise finish.

Like right now I'm in the middle of The Hobbit. I've read it before but I've been working my way through it again because the movie is coming out this Christmas. WOOT! A couple of months back I read through Ender's Game again too. I hadn't read that since High School. It's a great book, also going to movie-fied next year.

I suppose I'll retackle The Count of Monte Cristo again. I got a ways in but put it down, so I guess I should restart at the beginning.

So that's what's going on here. I think it'll all work well enough, whether or not I get a lot written. Of course that doesn't limit my writing time at home, if I write anything. And of course I wont say "No writing" anything if I have a sudden stroke of genius, but I just wont focus on it on the alternate week.
