Assignment avoidance
Can’t get through the book review that’s due TOMORROW. This is my third (fourth?) time sitting down at the computer all ready to write and not writing.
Just accepted another assignment at work. Oops. Totally forgot I meant not to do that. I am a greedy little thing.
Our writers’ retreat for the very very very small writing list I’m on is in two weeks. There is much angsting about the format and schedule. Next year will be easier.
I’m having coffee tomorrow with a writer who lives in our old neighborhood! If I’d known that before we moved it would have made moving harder so I guess I’m glad I just found out. Maybe my dream of an in real life crit group will COME TRUE!
I just found my ex-boyfriend’s blog (he’s a writer, too, just had a couple of books published in a genre I don’t read much) and of course had to settle in and read the whole thing. Surprisingly I did NOT find an entry reading, “I never did get over that blue-eyed lover I had back when I was scalliwag of a boyfriend. Oh how I regret treating her so poorly! Oh how life may had been different if I hadn’t let her go! Dawn, Dawn, Dawn — I send love-filled blossoms to the universe in my longing for her!” I looked extra-carefully hard but it wasn’t there. He must have made that entry friends only.
Back to work! Right now! Seriously, Dawn, press publish and get ye writing!!!
Dawn, you’re so funny! I laughed out loud when I read the part about your ex-boyfriend’s blog. Somehow, women always want to hear that their ex’s can barely make it without us! And the rats always do fine!

He most definitely made it “friends only.” There’s no other rational explanation. He’s probably got a “lonely writer’s garret cam” in that section of his blog, too. (He doesn’t want everyone knowing how sad and pathetic life is in his post-Dawn universe, after all.)
P.S. Thank you for setting up Procrastination Central. I sooo needed a place to hang out instead of writing.
I am sure he is writing a completely SEPARATE book with the loss of your own fabulous self as the topic.
Hi! I like your style. I’m a single mom trying to be a writer as well. Baby = muse.
Love the life!

I wish the angst was in the open so it could be understood and responded to by all who deserve to understand and respond to it. And that’s all I’m going to say.
