After getting a few posts up, I had decided to hold off on working on this blog for a bit until I was really ready to commit to updating every single day, at least once. I’ve never been commitment-shy (well, fuck, I’m married at 24, how could I be?), but I’ve always had a weird relationship with my writing. I’ll go through periods where I write a lot and then don’t write again for months, or years even. I mean, I’ll write papers for class, and make little notes here and there, but nothing serious. This blog is a way for me to try to get over that and live up to the fact that I call myself a writer.

So, since lack of motivation has always been the barrier that keeps me from accomplishing what I should easily be able to, I’ve decided to force myself into it. From now on, if I haven’t made a post by 2 am following any given day, I’ll pay whoever emails me at drew@riverhed.com pointing that out five dollars. Granted, that’s not a lot right now, but it’s incentive to get more people to come here and more importantly more incentive for me to make sure I post.

I had actually told Ivona this yesterday, and insisted that yesterday was going to be the day I kick things off. Which means I owe her five dollars (and believe me, she didn’t waste any time sending off emails and text messages informing me of this).

As far as the specifics go, I did 2 am instead of midnight because sometimes I work late. And it’s for 24-hour period of time, not necessarily calendar day. So if I post at 10 pm on the 12th, and not again until 1 am on the 14th, it doesn’t count (since it resets at 2 am, so it’s still in the 13th’s timeframe). Just wanted to get that out of the way so people don’t try to fuck me over on this. Oh, and you need PayPal to receive the money.

Anyway, it’s late now or I’d post more about what’s going on around here lately. Check back tomorrow for news.
