Boy am I stuck.

I hate advice. The one thing I hate about writing class is all the advice. It's paralyzing. I had a resolution to submit once a month. January went well. Then last Saturday RR said not to submit. Actually he said to submit from the top down, something I have heard before. Then and now, the idea of submitting to those places paralyzes me. Plus, I can see I don't have anything relevant for them at the moment. And yet I will never have anything for them unless I get some smaller things done and build confidence from there. And yet I'm not supposed to go for the lesser places. So I can't do anything.

Never tell people about your plans. They always advise something else. I suppose it won't be the end of the world if I don't stick to my resolution. It will be just like so many other resolutions. But this one, I thought, was good for me.
