The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

So Much For That

The whole not coming in to work thing. I'm here and so is my red clipboard (where I've been doing a lot of writing lately.

This is We're Not Working On The Freaking House month. We're both burned out, my back isn't up to it, and we're going to be visiting Birdie's family instead. This coming weekend I will attempt to resist sister Linda's attempts to keep me inebriated on cheap beer and - of course - get more writing done. *g*

Writer first, then drink cheap beer with a clear conscience! I hope to get some writing done this weekend (which is to say the fun stuff, not the deadline stuff). After Friday morning, life will be my own again. Maybe I'll get a chance to chat with Terry Jones!

Yes, fun stuff! Are you still having a good time writing that? I hope so, because I sure want to read the whole thing. *g*

I am! I keep having ideas that have to be in there somewhere and it still feels so full that I have to unload it (with a dumptruck or not). Hey -- must be our theme song for these two projects!

"I need a steam shovel, mama, to
keep away the dead,
I need a dump truck, baby, to
unload my head."
