Productive? Is that my primary goal? I mean, what about “daring” or “dangerous” or “exuberant” or any number of other funky adjectives (I’m a writer, I know adjectives).

And if I’m not churning out 1500 words a day (or 500, or 200, or whatever I’ve predefined as “productive”), am I an unproductive writer? My answer: sometimes. But not always.

In short, the name of the blog has been somewhat at odds with the spirit I’ve been bringing to it. Therefore, in the spirit of truth in labeling, I’m looking around at some other ideas: I’m considering the Unstuck Writer, for instance, or just going with my own name on the blog, which will simplify things.

More soon…
