Sparks of Life and Renewed Purpose

It's been a long time since I last updated. I was going to re-vitalize my Blog-City blog, and I made a post to that effect and everything, but I wanted to be able to update using a client-side program. Blog-City kept giving me errors, I think because I wasn't a paid subscriber, so I'm going to use Blogger instead. Basically this will be the blog in which I post my responses to a bunch of writing prompts I've found.

There's no set amount I'll be doing or schedule for them, although my goal is to do at least one per day. Being able to update through this client-side program will make that easier for me to do. So here I am, using w.bloggar v3.03. I'll go ahead and copy the writing prompt I've done at Blog-City.

What is something you dislike about yourself?

The main thing I dislike about myself is my lack of will power. I'm not the kind of person that can force myself to do something unless I really consider it to be important. I've been doing a better job lately of making sure I do some things consistently, like working out. But I still haven't reached the point where I make certain that I do 15 ab-rollers and 40 pushups every day. It's the same way with writing. I'm doing an independent study in fan fiction writing and if I made myself do some everyday, I could have a story done by now. But instead I end up pushing it off to another day.

I want to reach the point to where I can really focus my will on things I want to do, and become disciplined enough to make sure that I'm consistent. If I can do that then I'll be able to improve myself in a lot of ways.

I'll also try answering this from another angle, the physical feature angle. I don't really like my chest. Everywhere else I'm at least semi-muscular, but my chest is nothing but skin and bones. My ribs poke out when I inhale, which looks pretty pathetic. So the pushups are aimed at increasing my chest muscle as well as arm muscle.
