Smart people (not me)
My friend B. is ridiculously smart and I’ve been asking her for help with my article that’s due ANY MINUTE. Ok, next Tuesday.
I keep thinking I’m there and happily sit down to type away and find out that I’m not there at all. I finally figured out what I should say last night during Madison’s 2am feeding.
I sent B. a question and then told her what I wanted to do and this is how I talk, “ad ajdkajd aiera e LM akfjadkjf” and B. can do this, “Did you say LM? This is how you do LM.”
See, she cuts right through all of my blathering and points to my central text even when I didn’t know I had one.
My weaknesses as a writer include but are not limited to:
–Procrastination;
–Difficulty sticking to my thesis;
–Assumption that the reader is at the same starting point that I am and so knows what I’m talking about already;
–Falling in love with quotes, sentences and entire paragraphs that don’t help the piece and fighting my necessary edits.
Playdate today! Tonight, I write.
