Evil writer's block is evil
Aug. 5th, 2011 12:35 pmDoesn't everything finally come together late yesterday afternoon for my ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sheppard_hc, the day before my sister, niece, and BIL arrive? It couldn't have given in a day earlier so that I didn't stay up past 1:00 AM typing and trimming and adding more? I even kept waking up to make notes in my PDA. I wrote 3000 words beginning to end yesterday and I think I'll end up posting late today after tweaking - with a wallpaper, of course :-D. I feel a little embarrassed at the pitifully short length when I see all the 16,000+ stories being posted, but I'm just glad I finished something before the deadline.
Now all I have to do is have the same thing happen for my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
mcshep_match story which is sitting there with an outline and lots of notes and is due the tenth (or sooner).
Unfortunately, I've already used up two days of spoons this morning with a walk in the village with the dogs followed by a lightning-fast 'clean everything' tour through the house changing all the linens, chair and loveseat covers, and rugs, followed by vacuum and dust, followed by dog baths, followed by Gary's nasty-smelling bathroom scrub because the dogs get the bath water everywhere. I'm now perched on the edge of the loveseat trying not to get it grubby while I'm waiting for the fumes to clear enough to take my own shower.
I'll collapse for a while waiting for them to arrive, then Gary and BIL will take off for a weekend motorcycle ride and I get to take the dogs to obedience class. I should be able to manage that with my sister and niece's assistance, since the walk and bath will leave the dogs a little less hyper.
My sister and BIL will be departing Sunday leaving my 10-year-old niece behind for a two-week visit. It will befrustratinginteresting if my writing muse keeps poking me while I'm supposed to be paying attention to her. At least she loves the dogs and they should help keep her occupied. :-D
Hmmm, that was a less-than-coherent post. I hope the story doesn't look as disjointed when I read it through today. :-/
