delphiDear Self,
You have two to three stories you're supposed to be finishing before the end of the month. Why then have you started a fourth? (Answer: because the idea of a certain two A:TLA characters being all brooding and horny and hermit-y together is delicious).
Also, you've had a week off. Why did you get nothing useful done? (Answer: because you slept a lot and revelled in Not Being At Work.)
*eyes the calendar* Okay, I can still pull this off. But I have learned that my "the more I have to do, the more I get done" philosophy has its limits.

The days of sitting down and simply noodling my way through a story whenever I felt like it are gone, mostly because I actually need to finish what I start. It was a lot easier when I could just shelve something when I hit a roadblock! I am sure your philosophy will get you where you need to go, and I, for one, am looking forward to the results!
