I've been reminded that I missed writing a blog last weekend. As I sit here today trying to move thoughts through my brain I'm having a hard time remembering why that was. I know I did some writing... even got together with some fellow writers... but otherwise my memory is blank. So, sorry if I've disappointed anyone.
Today I have a full day all to myself. My plan was to do some house cleaning, play with the dogs, then focus on writing. Particularly editing my own story that I wrote for NaNo 2009. (Yes, I know that line will make some of you smile.) Some laundry and dishes have been done. Dozer is curled up next to me on the sofa while Moof has made a nest out of my comforter on my bed. And me? I've spent most of the morning curled up with my new blanket on the sofa with my netbook. But the manuscript I should be editing is at the other end of the sofa. Haven't touched it. Instead, have I been writing on the netbook? Nope. Watching the Ghost Hunters marathon and playing mahjongg. Oh, and drinking coffee but that's just a given with me anyway.
So I pulled open the blog. My hope is that by writing here I not only appease the one hassling me to update but also get my brain and fingers in motion. The tv show really does have a part to play in this. A friend of mine has been discussing some difficult characters in his current story with me lately. Characters that have some similarity to characters I have in a story I started a while ago. Those discussions have brought that story back to my conscious mind. My empathic paranormal investigator and the menagerie of creatures she encounters. Now I just need to find that notebook since none of those notes are on the computer yet.
The problem? That requires me to get off the couch. Though if Amazon keeps taunting with pictures of her fire that might push me to move... just out of frustration. Or I start something new... something inspired by the yet more snow we are getting in the frozen wasteland.
For those of you who are both literate and interested in sports, enjoy the Super Bowl tonight. I know I will be.
