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.

LOL, this is a hilarious post. I feel like this when I’m writing, too. It’s like, oh, well, nevermind, I didn’t need a life anyway! During the semester, I absolutely cannot write anything more than poetry. No prose, period. My life and my writing will clash to the point where it’s somewhat harmful to my mental health.
Stupid life–stop getting in my way.

Ooh, poetry. I wish I could write poetry. Mine is ghastly. We do not speak of it. Short stories though… they can be bite-sized… No. I just can’t talk myself into it. My brain is like, “We write books. Deal with it.”
I suppose it’s for the best. Otherwise I’d just have something else to distract me from writing the book 🙂 Which… as I have already largely given up on sleep would maybe not be a good thing…
