That’s It. I Need To Stop Having a Life. It’s Getting in the Way of My Writing.

I made words! I made so many words! I am awesome. Those scenes? You know, the last ones for TRTH that I hadn’t finished? There are now five of them. No, wait, this is a good thing. Because they’re almost finished! All I need to do is frame them and drop them in the narrative. Which, to be perfectly fair, may be a tomorrow thing because Wednesday is not a happening day. Wednesday is a day with life in it.

Which… no. I am sure it’s perfectly healthy to have a life. A good thing even. A thing of goodness. It’s just… dear god it’s getting in the way of my writing.

Perhaps I could just have a life every second week? Or I could have life-hiatuses? They do that with TV series’, right? I don’t see what the problem is. I’ll just announce, I am going on hiatus. See you in three to five weeks.

Actually, come to think of it, I am going to do that in July. But it’s more like seven weeks and I don’t know how much work I’m going to get done.

See? Life — inconvenient for the writing thing.

Pfft. I am going to ignore it and be over here doing a little dance of victory. And on Thursday I am going to put ten thousand words of three different subplots in the book and then I am going to sit back and bask in my own brilliance. Bask, I say. There will be no second guessing. No doubt. No… whatever. Hush. It will all be good. Brilliance. Basking. Just go with it.

Zim and Dib from "Invader Zim". Zim is doing a victory dance while Dib looks on, glowering.
