Day 15: Procrastination.

Two weeks down. Fifty to go.

If the future fifty weeks bring the same kind of change the last two have, I say bring them on.

One cool thing I'm starting to conquer thanks to this: procrastination. I never realized how much of that is rooted in fear. Now, I still procrastinate it's just getting better.

I would always put things off because I didn't want to fall flat on my face, and then when something needed to be done at the last second I could blame the results on time. But take away the idea of being good at something, and you get better. Risk and failure have to go hand in hand I think. Well, at least for me they do. And failing, it turns out - doesn't suck as much as I thought it would.

YESTERDAY'S CHALLENGE:

Yesterday I went on an interview for a challenging position. I promised myself if the offer came through I would say yes. The offer came through. I said yes. A new challenge lies right on the other side of the weekend, and I am really excited!

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: My First Sketch.

Okay, so the thing I said about procrastination just a paragraph ago...well, this Monday I have my second sketch comedy class. And though I have been writing my required sketch all week, I'd be lying if I didn't say they were half-ass attempts; I know when I'm phoning it in. But today I sat and wrote, and rewrote and edited. And I now have my first sketch. Is it great? Nope! Is it mine? Yup. And I am saving it to PDF as I type this and I am going to be happy with my first shot at this new adventure. I can't believe I didn't wait till Sunday night. Things they are a changing.
