Fetters

I find, while working on my thesis draft, that it is entirely too likely that I will become distracted by things like television shows. My current obsession is Bones. While the show itself is not necessarily complex (it follows the same basic structure of: brief introduction, murder, Booth and Bones finding the site, gross exploration of the corpse, relief when the murderer is found, and some romantic end-cap), I have convinced myself that, because it is a story, it relates in some larger way to my life. Added bonus -- I am not writing. Hence my current predicament.

I think the best advice I have received in the past week for the extolment of writing is to not look at it as a chore. Find something of yourself in your writing, and place a part of yourself in it.

Easier said than done.
