Today sucked. The whole day. From 2 pm until about 9:30 I wanted to punch kittens in the face.
Every time I went to write someone or something would interrupt me. I sat at Starbucks and wrote for two hours. I got some solid work done, but still it wasn't moving as quickly as I would have liked.
Then I had a dentist appointment it was my third one in two months, Ive been so foolishly trying to get my teeth cleaned. Yep they still aren't clean.
Then I got lectured by an elderly lady who was way to positive that I should live each day for itself. Great advice, but I was NOT in the mood to hear it.
Then I went to Panera, I ordered a new salad, it wasn't as good as I would have liked. Hubby called, I told him I had 1 hour to write before I picked up our daughter. Then the women next to me started to talk to me. FOR AN HOUR!!!
Then my daughter was exhausted (YAY) when I picked her up. YAY YAY and she wanted a nap. YES YES YES. I wrote one paragraph and Hubby came home and started to clean. Now I feel pressure to clean with him. I'm on the verge of tears.
AUGH
Daughter went to bed at 7:45 and I"ve been writing since then. I have three scenes left. They should be sort of short.
Plan for tomorrow, Drop of daughter at daycare*, go sit at a library and write. Then go to Let's Dish with Cindy, go to lunch, Best Buy and get the comics. Go back to a library and finish writing. Pick up kid by four. Write until it's time for bed.
*I'm not a stay at home mom who sends her kids to daycare. I'm a teacher and my school shut down three days earlier then the rest of the school system because it was getting renovated. Since I already had my daughter scheduled for daycare, it would be a SHAME and a CRIME not to use it.
Word count 5510 words written today. Total 56k
Ah! I'm sorry! I hate it when things happen like that. I hope tomorrow is much more productive for you :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, I've had days like that. I hope tomorrow's better!
ReplyDelete(By the way, Penny and Hank sounds fascinating. I love modern reworkings of myths.)
Writing time is so easily sucked away from us. It's so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteAll that and you still managed to write 5.5k??! I'm impressed :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree that it would be a shame to waste that day care! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a teacher too - but we still have a few more days to go. Enjoy your time.
