Using living organisms as a weapon to kill, incapacitate, or harm an enemy is not a modern invention – it is claimed that the Assyrians were at it 600 years BCE when they poisoned enemy wells with the ergot fungus.
Now, you might be thinking to yourself that it’s wrong to kill, but what if your enemy is your own thoughts and habits – the ones that hold you back. What if you desperately want to rid yourself of the urge to sit eating chocolate whilst replying to the comments on your blog, when you know that you should be getting on with writing your synopsis (for example)?
Here’s a quick guide to how you can wage warfare on unhelpful habits – and win:
- STOP READING THIS NOW AND GET ON WITH IT!!!
I hope you found this guide useful.

So there’s this bloke at a party and he’s got shiny, shiny shoes and he goes up to one woman and stand real close, looks down, looks up at her and says ‘You’re a Manchester United fan aren’t you?’ and she says ‘Yes, how did you know?’, but she blushes, because by then she’s guessed how he knows and what he’s seen with his shiny, shiny shoes … oh, just thought on – you might not get the punch-line – it’s about English Football. Never mind.
Yeah – work! (sound of whip cracking). 🙂

Same here…I have loads of ideas but really need to start accruing writer habits properly. Thing is it all started as just a hobby…the sort to pass time as an interest. I never anticipated anyone would like it…that caught me out a bit so focus changed to maybe I should try and publish. Obviously, that has moved it from hobby to something more serious…ergo need to start that scheduling thing 😱
