Confession Time March 7, 2010

Sigh.

There’s something you need to know. I have been slacking off these past few weeks. I could make up excuses. I could say, “But the olympics were on!” or, “But I was sick and coughing up my lungs on an hourly basis!” I could say a lot of things, but the truth is I have been slacking off, wasting my time, and generally letting all my hard-earned writing muscles grow weak from lack of use.

I still went to the gym while the olympics were on. I went to the gym while I was coughing up a lung too (and the other patrons were thrilled, let me tell you). If I can go to the gym, I can write. Which is why I am confessing my idleness here tonight.

I have done some writing, don’t get me wrong, but the level accomplished does not reflect the amount of time I set aside for the task. There are so many things I want to do, projects I want to start, projects I need to finish, that I am ashamed of my behaviour. I hope that by publicly admitting to it, I will hold firm in the future and not let time escape me again.

I have an hour and a half before I need to turn in for the night. I am going to shut off my internet and get to work.

From beyond the keyboard,

Cheryl.

GO CANADA GO February 28, 2010

I know this is a blog about writing, but I have to acknowledge the amazing event that has taken place in my hometown of Vancouver. The 21st Olympic Winter Games drew to a close tonight, and I have to say that I am proud to be a Canadian. Not only did our athletes do well as a country (our best medal total ever, and the highest number of golds won by a single country – EVER), but we did an awesome job showcasing Canada to the world.

To think of the number of volunteers, and volunteer hours, needed to host an event of this magnitude is incredible. The positive spirit I witnessed during the past seventeen days has been amazing. Watching ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things makes me want to get up and cheer them all on again.

Congratulations to all the athletes, organizers, and volunteers! You put on quite the show!

Waving from the stands,

Cheryl.
