Re: The "Cost" of the matter

**D* G* <d*@kos.net>**

Doreen - I envy you your ability to do all this in your head and make  
sense of it / follow it through.   My problem is that I get  
sidetracked on some "fun" thing and forget that I have to actually  
make some money.  A week will go by as I experiment with some new bit  
of software or delivery system without me noticing the time rolling  
by.  The tech world sucks me in to the sheer joy of seeing what "can"  
be done.   Having a written plan staring me in the face at least  
allows me the decision to say "to heck with the plan this day/week".   
But at least that is a conscious decision.

I suspect in the writing world that one size doesn't fit all.  In  
mine, I have to plan if I want to avoid Jeff B's description of garden  
writing as a poverty lifestyle.

All the best as we dig out from under yet another snow storm.
