Do you have a project you'd really like to accomplish but just don't make the time for it? Sometimes it seems decadent to take time away from what needs to be done (like dishes or laundry) to pursue something you love. I mean, it's more noble to do something you don't like than to spend time doing what you enjoy...right?
Or is that how amateurs think? I came across a great quote this weekend that might do us all well to take to heart.
Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration,
the rest of us just get up and go to work.Yeah. That one hit me between the eyes, ranking right up there with Nike's Just Do It.~ Stephen King
Perhaps I'll do something crafty with Stephen King's sage advice, like pulling out threads from a piece of burlap to form each individual letter, then frame it and hang it over my desk. I'm sure someone's already done this on Pinterest, so maybe I'll just pop over there first and take a looksie.
Hmm. Maybe not. I suspect that's where the amateurs hang out.

So - I'm going to go excercise this morning - that should do it
You might want to check out Katia Raina's Gimme 31 challenge--it's my kick in the pants this month.
Thanks for the heads up, Wendy! I'll toodle over there now.
And Ard...you're right; that should do it (and I should too).
Yeah, that King quote kicked me, too. It's the old "writers write" thing.
I think Pinterest is the home of the amateurs. A place to dream, yet rarely actually do anything about those dreams.....ah.....a kick in the pants, indeed!
Ha ha! Love that quote, and I happily call myself an amateur. :-D Yeah, waiting for inspiration and looking at pictures on Pinterest doesn't work like "butt-in-chair" does. :-) Even then, I practically have to put my new books under lock and key and turn off the internet before I can accomplish anything.
Turning off the internet...that IS the key!
