Thanks :D

Thanks for all your supportive comments yesterday! I managed to write about 1500 words (not counting the pie) at a coffee shop yesterday, so it must have been good mojo in the end. I have opened manuscripts and just stared and stared, but finally the words came yesterday. We’ll see how it goes.

Part of the problem, I think, is that I’m uber scattered. I have a LOT to do, but nothing is particularly pressing or particularly time consuming. It’s like I’m being eaten by tiny hamsters, one tiny bite at a time. Each one bite is no big deal, but the fucking hamsters are eating my braaaaaaaain!

I’ve tried about 100000 ways to manage my time, but I have this weird conglomorated (so what if I made it up, I’m a writer) life that doesn’t fit in to one category or another. I don’t get a block of time to say “this is what I’m doing now” because I”m constantly doing a bunch of unrelated things. I believe this is the fate of work-at-home (that includes mom-at-home, because being a house manager is a job, damn it, and that doesn’t even count the kid part) folks in general, so I know I’m not alone out there. Lemme tell ya–it isn’t a bad gig at all but some days I feel totally at a loss as to how to move forward. Maybe it’s the PMS today.

Unrelated–I LOVE Pushing Daisies! Great show, wish it was still on and I am crossing my fingers for another season. I was just trying to sell folks on it the other day–honestly, I’m surprised it made it on TV at all, given how awesomely strange and unique it is! I consider it a high honor to be compared
