I know I usually do these things on the weekends, but I needed to get it out there today.

List Sixteen: Things I Spend Too Much Time On.

  1. Blogging. I try to keep this space as updated as possible — I like writing here — but it usually takes me an entire day to polish something enough to a point that I’m willing to publish it. And it usually only takes me away from my other writing responsiblities.

  1. Playing with my kid.
  2. Reading.
  3. Working on writing that actually has deadlines.
  4. Basically shit that isn’t Facebook or Google Reader.
