500+ Words Today and I think 1000+ Yesterday, but who's really counting...

I got a late start this morning. I've found myself in the distracting habit of staying up too late at night and then resetting my alarms in the morning to sleep in an extra hour. this throws me off and puts my writing after my first few hours of work - very disheartening. And talk about self-doubt. It has really been creeping in lately, and it is very irksome.

But, I did manage to knock out 500 or so words this morning, in spite of the nocturnal rigmarole. And I forgot to post my writing for yesterday, and I took out my markers in the text, so I can only give a good guess [I'm thinking 1000, but who really knows].

I'm now debating on whether or not I should get a top level domain. You know, the .com situation. It's actually pretty fooling for me to be trying to talk myself out of it. I guess I'm just nervous that I'll quit writing tomorrow and then I'll have wasted $4.99. Come on, Steven! Buck up! Just get it done.

The big reasons to get the TLD are:

• The .com for my name is available again. I guess Steven Veach, the photographer, decided to get a day job. 
• It could serve as good motivation for me to keep going, since I spent some money on my writing platform. 
• My Blogger blog could be deleted at any time for any reason, and if I'm using there domain .blogspot.com, any readership/fan base that I develop in the future could be jeopardized. With my own TLD, if the blog is ever deleted, I just redirect to a new host, and upload my blog backups and Voila! Back in business. 

Now for the reasons not to get the TLD:

• I don't want to waste the money if I'm just going to quit tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year.
• Amanda Hocking became a millionaire on a .blogspot.com domain. 
• Google doesn't care what kind of domain you have but what content you have. 
• I've already run across the issue of putting a TLD in print material [i.e. book covers], only to quit and let the domain lapse. Now I have to go back change it all. It's easier of course now with a PDF editing program, but before it was a pain in the neck.  

I've pretty much decided to pull the trigger today. I even got my wallet out of my computer bag so it's right next to me. But, for now, it's time to find some food. Oh, refrigerator. Where are you?
