What am I battling, you ask?

I am battling a bitter foe. A monster with nine head and six tails. (Last time I counted, at least.) I lurks around my bus and my grandparent's house like a shadow. It follows me everywhere I go.

This beast has plagued me for too long, I say.

What is it's name?

Procrastination. :P

That being said, I'm taking a semi-internet holiday to fight this beast head on. It will not be an easy battle. But I shall prevail. :twisted:

Now, why not a full holiday? Because some of the things I need to do are internet related. Like e-mail. And blogs. And other stuff. So I am not completely banning myself from HW and the like while I fight this monster. But you may indeed see less of me over the next week or so. My battle strategy is to work 1-2 hours on guitar a day, get my schoolwork done, be consistent in my chores, write blog posts on time, read more, e-mail more frequently and consistently, and spend 3-4 hours on art a day.

Wish me luck. *polishes double-bladed sword* :wave: I bid you all a fond adieu.

I pray for stamina and strength as you go out to meet the foe. :D

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

May the light of Laurelin radiate from your sword and blind the beast that seeks to destroy you. Godspeed to you and your sword! :salute:

Oh, sorry for the late reply... :P I didn't see that there were new posts.

UPDATE:

The Beast has been wounded. :twisted:

I haven't quite gotten it up to how I would like, but I'm pleased. (With the exception of graphic arts. I have spent several hours on that.) I'm managing my time a lot better. ^_^

The battle is not over, but I have the upper hand. ;)

Well done. :D It is hard to find a good balance sometimes. :P
