It's the first of a new month and that's when I start to make myself all kinds of promises. But before I can fulfill the actions that just spilled out into my journal I need to do a bit of housekeeping first.
I don't know about you but my Desk looks like a war zone. It's got glasses of days old water, a cold cup of tea, pens, pencils and highlighters of all colours, paper some clipped together, dictionaries, books on Writing, books for analysis, a calculators, writing magazines, part edited novels, stapler and a box of tissues.
Phew, I'm sure I've missed loads - oh yes a large bankers lamp which is great in the winter but takes up a lot of room right now...
So can I find anything? No, I can't.
Do I have a filing cabinet? Yes I do, last opened... some months ago.
Could I arrange thing so I don't spend the whole day cursing that I'm sure I left it right.... there. Perhaps.
First job on the Action List - Get Organised.
Second job - Start as You Mean to Go On (which I've failed on already as I made a list for today and done just about everything else but what was on the list!)
So tell me, what is your writing desk like?
Don't Think Just Write
