I’m tired. And cranky. And sleepy.
Yesterday was awesome. I felt so on top of my writing, so focused and productive. I was sure today would be the same, sure I would have a productive, energetic session at the meeting tonight.
And yet I floundered, my brain full of cotton-mouthed bunnies hopping hither [...]

10 Cent Surprise Bag
Here’s a list of everything and anything else besides writing that I did today!
I’m enjoying Melusine by Sarah Monette. I’d been meaning to read it for a while now and I used my trip to Montreal as the test to try out Stanza on the iPhone. Yes, I did buy it on e-Reader, [...]

Yesterday = Win! Today = Lose.
After worrying about where to set the next scene, I fiddled and fretted and didn’t get down to it until somewhere around lunch time. The goal, I said to myself, was 1,000 words, and once I reached that I was allowed to have some terrible junk food and play video games.
And in a [...]

No, no, no . . .
No words typed in.
No work done on the short story.
No progress on the manuscript build.
I did journal today – extensively. And it lulled me into a false sense of productivity. Still, it needed to get out and it couldn’t be done here and I feel a little better in that regard. It [...]

Calling it a Night
I’m trying to self-medicate with a stiff rum-and-coke after a day that tested the very limits of my patience.
So while I sip the luke-warm beverage, the tinkle-tonk noise of Boom Blox 2 plays on the Wii while Todd and his buddy amuse themselves and the early night’s breeze brings with it the strange but intoxicating [...]

Hesitantly Hyper
I’m debating whether or not I should go to tomorrow’s Hypergraphic’s meeting.
Since the last meeting (the last, cheese-less meeting) I have not written a damn word. Not a word. I had time off to spare, I was home. Granted, a great deal of time was spent taking apart the old [...]

Excuses Like Dandilions
I haven’t had any coffee or tea yet, which may explain why I’m so incredibly short-tempered with things today. I’ve had niggling little technical difficulties for a week or so now, and today I seem to have both sorted them and found a host of others. At one point, having reset Safari entirely [...]

The Moment of Truth (Hurts)
Fifteen minutes to go before I dial the number of doom (i.e., work) to call in for my shift bid.
I hadn’t let myself get too stressed out about it up until this morning. With a shift bid for about 130 – 150 employees it’s hard to get a handle of what might be available [...]

Didn’t Write Today
Yeah.
Didn’t write.
First time in, what, twenty-five days? Or is it twenty-seven? Close to a full month, and I’ve blown it.
I wrote all day at work in my physical journal, in between calls and with different colored pens. I wrote about five pages longhand, around 900-1000 words, ranting [...]
