I've decided that I'm going to embark on a three part plan to myself a better person. I'm going to start going to the gym. I'm going to diet. I'm going to write regularly. I think if I decide to do all of these things at once, I might stand a sporting chance of getting some writing done. My plan will begin tomorrow, with a ridiculously expensive gym membership. I will go to the gym each night and starve myself, or I will write.
When faced with two unpleasant things--say, going to the gym or writing--it seems likely that I will choose the path of laziest resistance. I'm going to end up fatter and and flabbier, but I might just write something other then self-indulgent blog posts. Like self-indulgent novels or self-indulgent articles or self-indulgent resignation letters.
Good for you for electing writing over the gym! You're still under 30-you have years before the results will catch up, and then you'll have a completed MS(unlike me).
