Am tired.

Feeling whiny. Need pep talk.

Listen up, Ellen! You're behind on everything! I don't want to hear your petulant excuses about 'I had to work,' or 'I had a show,' or any of that usual crap you give me. You can do more than this! You've wasted plenty of time, you slacker. You've spent more time whining about your lack of time than you needed to accomplish half your to-do list, you lazy, entitled underachiever! Get your act together, half-wit! You know what you need to do, so buckle down and do it!

Your Nanowrimo count is lame and small! Get that wordcount up!

You haven't been practicing your bellydancing drills, gawky. Your own fault if you trip over your feet in class, clumsy!

Still no TMAS, eh, 'artist?' Yeah, being all foot-dragging on that, too, aren't ya!

Freaking webpage still has no wish list, does it? You think you're so clever with your Frankenstein coding, but you still haven't managed to pull together some of the functions that ought to be basic and aren't. Not feeling so clever now, eh, Einstein?

Down and give me twenty, slackerself!

How about: "Hey, Ellen - you are awesome!! You have a lot to do and only so many hours in a day, but somehow you always manage to get everything done, to the amazement of everyone who knows you! So gather your energy, get up and go get stuff done, but don't forget that You. Are. Awesome!"

not a lot of "pep" in that pep talk there, girlfriend.....you manage to do more than pretty much anyone else I know, and it's pretty astounding, so you need to stop beating yourself up, stat!

Agree with everyone who's posted above me. You ARE awesome.

nothing is ever wasted.
it does however give me some smug, sadistic satisfaction that someone as smart and as multitalented as you has some of the same inner turmoil as me. if it helps i'll sit around doing my usual nothing and make you look good by comparison. ;o)

That's not a pep talk, that's a 'beating yourself with a stick' talk. Less stick, more carrot.

GO GO GO! Rah Rah Rah!

That's right, I'm being your own personal, overweight, cheerleader. You can do it! Get off your butt and go for it! *shakes pom poms*

Heh, I just had to say that I'm having pretty much the same kind of day. Week.

You need to look up the description of "pep talk", Ellen. :)

Gosh I am so beat from my last two days off. For NaNo I managed to drag myself to 4000 words Monday and 3000 words Tuesday...I think I needed more to get back on track? I am afraid to look at what I wrote last night in the hour before I went to bed "ok, need 109 more words..."
I think I might have found the true spirit of NaNo then, writing like a stream of consiosnes....whaaat, I mutilated that... conscience ness. I mean. I just figured out an easy way to remember that one con science. :)

***Ack ack ac mmph snrk***

I'm so sorry Ellen, I'm just laughing out loud. OK, just for the last line. Well, OK, and because the sheer silliness of calling YOU underacheiving is like calling, oh, Bilbo Baggins tall.

I shall go read peppy pep talks to you now. Because for all the crap you may dish out to yourself, it's not the way to shift the balance. (I've got an extra 10 or so years of practice on that one, and I KNOW. :P)
