Victories: Yesterday I finished a chapter. It was probably the chapter that intimidated me the most. Today, I plan to finish another one.
Mishaps: Unfortunately, as I’m sure EVERYONE who deals with computers knows, no matter how many times you get burned and tell yourself you’ll never do THAT again…
I saved a For-Tim-and-Jim-To-Read draft over a working draft and lost about eight pages of writing I was doing on two different chapters. Those particular pieces of writing were saved nowhere else. It’s only eight pages, not as bad as the time I lost 200 pages, but still…
At moments of realization like that, it’s hard not to wish I were:
Filling this canvas with the painting that a lovely person has commissioned from me. Or:
Getting lost in one of the three books I’m simultaneously reading, all of which are completely absorbing for different reasons.
I’m sorry if I’m not responding (or am responding s-l-o-w-l-y) to your e-mails, phone calls, or your wonderful blogs and journals. I’ll be more communicative soon.
LOL, well, I love the photos of you all working.
Personally, I want to read right now, and not work a bit, but I can’t allow myself to do that. I can’t feel that wonderful “getting lost in” a book right now. But Princess Bride is on and it’s so tempting to just watch. And Daniel, I mean come on, I need to see what happens with Blaine…and his new persona.
Argh. I don’t want to work at all. I just want to be in a cooler environment, reading. *temper tantrum or redheaded fit*
* boing * I recognize that book :: grin ::
