I never know the words that are going to come out when I start a new blog post.
I do not have many skills and of the skills I don’t have one of them is planning. I am not a good planner.
The reason is I always have the slight feeling of being chased by a wolf. That is a metaphor I have come up with on the fly.
Intellectually I understand the value of planning but when I think about doing it all I can think is that it is time spent not doing the thing.
Did you ever watch Red Dwarf? There is an episode where Rimmer makes a revision timetable. He puts hours and hours of effort into it. When the time comes for the exam all he has done is make the timetable and not actually done any of the work. This is how I feel.
I also know how ineffective this can be. I have been working on a novel for a long time. Planning might have helped. Now I am so deep into it it feels like it would not help. The novel is going well…I think.
Ultimately the decision on if planning is best or not planning is best is up to each individual. At least it is in writing. If you’re building a bridge you do need to plan.
This came together pretty well today. I have no idea how long the post is but I am guessing it is nowhere near the proposed 500 words. Not least because it hasn’t taken long enough for that to happen. Still I am going to leave it here for now. Maybe more words will occure to me the next time.
Bye for now.
I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.
