Work Ethic

My (for all intents and purposes) "mother-in-law" walked up the stairs today with clean sheets and told me she was about to make her bed if I had any issues with fitted sheets.  I asked how she folded them and she said she just puts them back on the bed!  (See previous post if you have no idea why I just said that.)

I really don't have any big fancy stories today, except that a chapter of a fanfic that I wrote and a fan mvid I made to go with it got a little bit of attention.  That's always nice.  It especially appealed to the actress in me that they said I understood the character I was writing.  Well, I do try!

It also made me realize something about my own characters and my life.  I need to ... how was it A Martinez said it about Robin Strasser?  "...the work ethic of a warrior."  I have always believed in that, but I haven't been living it.  I need to attack every project I undertake -- 100 percent and with my full attention.

I tend to stew and worry and question everything.  I need to just stick to my convictions and throw out the best work I possibly can, all the time.

I understand this whole concept, and have for years, but for some reason I feel like I am just now "getting it."
