Hi Folks,
So I've spent about 14 hours today working on an article for Songwriters Market and I am not happy with it at all and it's only 2/3rds done. I've gotten way off track and now I need to reel it all back in. I may actually trash everything I have written and start all over again. I made a half dozen phone calls to people to confirm info and not one of them called me back. Argh! It was/is due today and this is already an extension. I even spent $100 bucks to stay in a nice hotel room so I could work but it's all for naught.
I don't have writers block, I've got way too much to say and not enough space to say it in. And I've written several in depth articles about small portions of the overall article and there's no room for it and I went so deep I need to verify some info before I could let it go to press. (I, unlike many major newspapers and magazines.. actually verify my info/sources before running an article.. but don't get me started on that topic...). I also got distracted for about an hour watching the Godfather on TV. I needed a break to clear my head and next thing I knew 75 minutes had passed. Now it's 12:30AM, I have interviews to do early tomorrow and have to check out and get to the show and I only got 5 hours of sleep in this really nice hotel room last night. Have I complained enough?
There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes with JPF. Normally I can stay on top of it. But I am finding it very hard to do daily stuff while on the road. Email's alone are 5-6 hours of daily work. Then I try to keep up on the message boards and lose time as well. I also lined up mentors to cover the Mentor Critique board for June (Sara Light of SongU is doing Week 1 & 3, Harold Payne Week 2 and John Braheny Week 4).
A Cowboy's work is never done! = )
