Working on writing up website text about insurance, revising a bunch of scripts for work, then come home, use up some more Chipotle money (carnitas fajita burrito, no rice, no beans, no sour cream, no cheese – wow, this has suddenly become a full-on “healthy” meal. “Only” 745 calories!), off to bookstore, crank out the […]
There needs to be an ambush scene. And then, the infamous Meeting. And then: HORROR. Writing books is full of teh awesome, really. It’s writing all the in-between stuff that’s so fucking tedious.
The Starbucks where I do my writing is now in-range of a free public Wifi hub. Dammit, people, if I thought writing with distractions would get anything done, I’d be writing at home. Fucking A.
