At the moment I should be working on some of the poetry being used in the wedding, and I am trying to finalise the one poem I want to read on the day, but there are so many things to do that the poems keep getting pushed backwards.
When I think about the amount of time I spent on the poem for my cousin, I really do feel a little disappointed that I’m not doing the same for my own! So this blog is a reminder to me – and to any of you who are struggling to find the time to create – that the writing has to come up the list of priorities.
This is a plan of action post. A ‘putting it all right’ post.
This week my target is to have written up all my draft poetry, identified poems that are ok to leave as they are and those that need help and TLC/scrapping and starting again. By the end of the week I want at least 50% of the wedding poetry ready to print.
I think that’s a realistic and reasonable plan, because it’s not all completely unrefined and some things will be very quick to tidy up and agree with my partner. Let’s just hope I can find time to stick with it…!
Once that’s done, I’ll have time to work on the rest of it and by the day of the wedding I’m sure it’ll all be fine. And if it isn’t, so be it – I’ll still be married!!
I’m leaving it there for today as I have 1001 things to do, but I’ll write more next week because I’ll be able to tell you about some successes for once!
Happy writing,
EJ
