I got thinking today about life in general and I wondered how many other writers feel the way I do. It seems I'm either working like crazy, on a roll and consumed with my characters and plot, or I'm frittering away the day. This led me take stock of what I actually do when I'm not working. Here is what I came up with. This is a good starting point but then, All...righty then, let's try something else. I know! How about some Cheetos? A little boost always helps get the juices flowing, right? There, that should do it. I'm ready. Let's see...um...maybe...naw. Okay, I have nothing to say. I get it. Maybe I'll do a little housework, just so my day isn't a total bomb. So, I take down all the drapes in the dining room and living room. Toss them into the laundry room and wash a total of 4 windows. Now this may not seem like much, but 1 window is huge and the other 3 all tip in so I have to clean both sides. Inspired, I then clean the glass on on the hanging pictures. Whew! Now I'm here. But, I shall persevere! A little liquid refreshment is now in order. Ah, sweet! I throw a load in the washer and continue. When I come down from my sugar rush, this is where I am. Okay, maybe Cheetos and Pepsi weren't my best options. I shall prepare a nutritious lunch. Something to sustain me through the afternoon. I return to my laptop, give myself a stern talking to and imagine something like this, just for inspiration mind you. Sigh, he's right of course. I should be writing. In fact if he were sitting right next to me I'm sure I could be inspired to compose an incredibly sexy scene, and I'm sure the words "Don't Stop" would be in there somewhere. But alas, nothing, zip, zilch, nada. So... I paint my nails... And read a little... Check my email... Play a game... Read Facebook post from all my friends and... Ah, time for a snack. Oh wait, wrong snack for the kind of day I've had. Wait! I know, I can look for some really cool pictures just in case I need them. At least the day won't be a total waste. So there you have it. A day in the life of a writer, at least this writer on this day. Hey, I got a blog post out of it. Tomorrow I shall begin again as they say,
