Writing (own stuff)

I joined a group of amateur speculative/sf writers who gather once a month to read and critique each others' work and it's awesome for feedback and general hanging out with people who share same interests. But darn coming up with new stuff or even improved old stuff every month is hard! I end up writing at night (like now), and daydream about being able to dedicate a whole day for my sf writing. Which I guess I could do, if I was not mismanaging and wasting my work time...

I *need* to do somethng about my procrastination problem. There's this book for adult ADHD folks, full of practical strategies on focusing and getting things done. My friend who has ADHD recommended it. While I don't think I have ADHD, I could benefit from it anyway. I should h´make some new years resolution but I'm not sure yet what would it be to be most useful.

Currently I'm writing this light-hearted piece about all-female United States of the Americas trying to send a woman to Moon before the Empire of Europe and Russia does. Lots of neat suits, red lipstick and fully fashioned nylon hosiery. All the characters (apart from President Jacqueline Kennedy) are named after textile testing equipment. I don't know if anyone else is as amused with this concept as me, but writing it is so much fun!
