Oh I look so forward to a real writing day. No visits to make. No chores to do (okay lots of chores just begging for my attention but none that I shall acknowledge. I believe dust bunnies are my friends.)
A perfect day to write. I got out for an early morning walk before the heat sets in. We are facing a five day run, at the END of September of temperatures 29C (84.2F) to 31C (87.8F). And that is not including the humidity factor which will make the actual temp feel to be in the 40’s.
Back to my real writing day. I have discovered, rather uncomfortably, that I can sit down at my desk, phone shut off, doors closed, segregation complete, until I start the Beast. First quick check of emails but don’t respond, too many. I found out the hard way that just one click and my morning is gone, baby, gone.
I notice there are comments on WordPress to answer, Well, that has set up a deadly train to Happy Land but also No Production Land. And I am in severe danger of being lured into doing and an actual post, always pleasant but again not productive for my immediate needs.
World’s Best Selling and World Changing Book of Fiction aside, I have been working on a very special project and it must be done by the end of October so I can have it ready for Christmas. That’s all I can say about that.
Oh yeah, The Hardest Thing in The World for Me To Do? TURN THE INTERNET OFF because I have no will power not to peek.
Not enough to turn the phone off and create arctic conditions of seclusion. I have friends who are grown up enough to just sit and write. Not me.
But clicking that icon to ‘off’ is the hardest worst gut wrenching feeling.
See here I am coffee to the left of me, water to the write…I mean right, and instead of just ‘clicking’ I am writing this to you.
Enough – here I go – leaping. It will only hurt for a nano sec. Have a good day everyone. I shall return. Say in 10 hours. No sooner I say!

I spent the entire day re-editing my book that I thought was saved as edited. I only noticed the error after the interior layout was done!
Oh No! Sorry to hear that. What did you do?
I had to find the editor’s notes and manually change it
As you k ow, it’s not onky you. Did no writing at all yesterday. Oh well today’s another day.
Ah sore throat etc today…day to read and rest and little else. How did your supper go with your friend? Did you get the dining table cleared off? Did you make soup? 🙂
No soup. Made a French style cottage pie. Now there’s enough for 2 more days. But yes, I got the dining table cleared off and the rubber gloving done so now have a lovely tidy apartment. Take care. Keep inside, warm and dry. You don’t need me to tell you what to do for a cold. Much love JX
Thanks J just has to run its course. Too bad we did not live closer to each other since you are all practiced up you could bring your rubber gloves here lol
what is in a French Style cottage pie. I know it can’t be cottages!
You can do it Chris!!!!!! 🙂 I look forward to what you are working on!
The heat at this time of year is crazy. I was actually looking forward to fall weather.
Me too Paul but given the state of hurricane places it would be unseemly for me to complain lol
This is true. We’re fortunate.
I must admit I am also easily distracted from writing by other things. I try to write from 5am to 8am during the weekend.
See? That makes perfect sense to me but my body has other ideas about early morning risings
I love you my friend, and dust bunnies aside, you have everything under control. I am always impressed how you can create a wealth of ideas and nurture them to life. You go, girl!
Ah thank you my Gypsy road warrior!
I actually schedule time to work on my book because otherwise I do the same thing as you!!
I know. Here I am – an adult who cannot draw the line for myself…geez
I think we all do it….
