the craft: less talk, more rock

Filed under: writing — Elizabeth @ 12:58 pm

My latest — and last, at least for a while — installment of The Craft is up. As it’s time for me to move it along, I thought I’d discuss moving right along:

Getting on with it has been on my mind a lot lately. Which is kind of odd, really, because I get on with it on a regular basis, thank you very much. Nonetheless, I still struggle with action-versus-inaction.

For me, there are two parts to getting on with it. There’s the obvious part, the “just do it” part, which, I’ll note with a wry smile, is really more about making good work habits for yourself, despite what blowhards on the Internet might tell you. Then there’s the not-so-obvious part — the mental part.

More here. Archives will remain here. Lookit! They gave me the cute graphic, too:

I’ve had a blast writing this column, but I’m running out of things that I Absolutely Must Share With You. The one requirement for myself made when I took this gig was “no filler”. I fricking hate it when columnists are clearly just phoning them in and filling space; when the well is dry, it’s time to call it a day.

I’m sure I have more columns in me, but they won’t rear their cute heads bi-weekly. Luckily, the lovely Drew Melbourne and the rest of the Scryptic lads will keep my shingle a-hangin’ for when the mood strikes. Thank you, guys!

And much, much thanks to everyone who has read the column and passed it on to others. I hope it helped!
