Hawk52: I'm sure some of you are sick of my whining
It's the "bitch about life" thread. If someone comes along and doesn't realize that there will be "bitching" about "life", then that's their own problem. I think the thread title meets the requirements for truth-in-advertising. : )
In other words, bitch away, Good Sir!
RE: your writing. Well, just write. The more you do, the more confidence you'll find in yourself. I know that sounds simplistic but even if you think it'll be crap, write it anyway. You can always delete it if it doesn't meet your standards, but in the meantime it'll keep you in the game.
Other than that, I see where you're coming from. I have a ton of crap to do for my business, most of it grunt work, but I'm having trouble deciding where to start. Should be simple: just pick one and do it, but it's not working out that way.
