I read this cool article last week — “30 Things To Stop Doing To Yourself” — and I thought, hey, heeeey, that’s interesting. Writers might could use their own version of that. So, I started to cobble one together. And, of course, as most of these writing-related posts become, it ended up that for the most part I’m sitting here in the blog yelling at myself first and foremost.

That is, then, how you should read this: me, yelling at me. If you take away something from it, though?

Then go forth and kick your writing year in the teeth.

The Shortlist:

1. Stop Running Away
2. Stop Stopping
3. Stop Writing In Someone Else’s Voice
4. Stop Worrying
5. Stop Hurrying
6. Stop Waiting
7. Stop Thinking It Should Be Easier
8. Stop Deprioritizing Your Wordsmithy
9. Stop Treating Your Body Like A Dumpster
10. Stop The Moping And The Whining
11. Stop Blaming Everyone Else
12. Stop The Shame
13. Stop Lamenting Your Mistakes
14. Stop Playing It Safe
15. Stop Trying To Control Shit You Can’t Control
16. Stop Doing One Thing
17. Stop Writing For “The Market”
18. Stop Chasing Trends
19. Stop Caring About What Other Writers Are Doing
20. Stop Caring So Much About The Publishing Industry
21. Stop Listening To What Won’t Sell
22. Stop Overpromising And Overshooting
23. Stop Leaving Yourself Off The Page
24. Stop Dreaming
25. Stop Being Afraid

Now that my slew of Rockstar Jeff Winger photos/gifs is concluded…

Ahem. Well, I did just catch the last 4 episodes today on my DVR, so there was a lot of pent-up Community love to express. Mostly towards Jeff’s abs/entire body, but whatever. 

Curiously, I stumbled upon a little quiz: http://www.buddytv.com/personalityquiz/community-personalityquiz.aspx?quiz=100000040&question=1

And the following was my result:

Suitable, I believe. The writer in me agrees heartily.

It’s all about the Iliac Crests… those bones right on the side of your hips that just look so very sexy on a man… 

The scruff, man-stare, and tattoo don’t hurt either…

Ok ok ok ok. Now last one. Swear.

No, that’s not a new obsession you see forming.

Good. God. 

Ok, I’ll stop now. Promise.

This look works for me.

And… I’d like to point out proudly that I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Though I do prefer him without the wig.

But really, who cares?

Even Rock’n’Roll Magician Jeff Winger is attractive. Oh Joel McHale, you are such a hilarious, handsome man. 

I’ll admit it. I’m strangely attracted to semi-goth faux Rock & Roll Jeff Winger. 

No shame.

That tattoo… rawr.

So, I’ve been thinking seriously about getting a tattoo for quite a few years. I know I want one, and I always wanted a meaningful one, so thus the debate time. I’m still milling over some choices. I want a written quote in a pretty cursive font with a dripping feather quill at the end. Now I just must decide on the quote. Below are some contenders. Thoughts?
