The writer sat down at the table. Laptop open, notebooks spread out, pens and coffee at the ready. The blank page looked back expectantly. Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink... Ooh. How about a story based in Mongol China? That sounds so cool! ...I know nothing about Mongol China. I'd have to do a bunch of research before really getting to write anything. Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink... How about opening up an old story and working on that some more? Got lots half-finished. Also got lots kind of finished that need editing. Like, heavy editing. Like, changing half the existing story editing. Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink... I know. I'll check in with my Twitter peeps. They'll have some encouraging words. Promopromopromoblandlygeneralquoteofencouragementpromopromo HAHA that is one funny cat picture! I've got to retweet that... How did they get that cat to wear pants? Are those doll clothes, or did they make those specifically for the cat? Are there companies that do this? Googling. Crap. No. On task. Working. Doodoodoodoo, Everybody's Working for the Weekend... which never really made any sense to me. Are they working during the weekend? Are they working with the expectation that all will be worth it once the weekend arrives? I mean, is it ever really worth it? Who says, when they come to the end of their lives, "I wish I'd worked more?", weekend or no? Speaking of work- that's what I'm doing. Not being distracted. Not me. Or is it "Not I"? You know, grammar can be so helpful and such a hindrance at the same time. Kind of six of one, half a dozen of the other. That's a cool phrase. I wonder when and where it was first used. Googling. NO! Working! Shutting out the world! No more distractions, ever! "No more wire hangers-EVER!" Never seen that movie. Never really had any desire to see it, either. Was Joan Crawford really that bad a mother, or was it merely Christina's perspective? Probably a bit of both. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. That's a cool phrase. Googling. Crap! Writing time's up already!? What the hell? I didn't even have the chance to get anything done!
