I had a yucky day today. I'm not quite sure why it hit me so hard. I even exercised this morning - took my dog for a nice, long walk. Hubby took the kids to the local fun center and so I had the house to myself.
Perfect writing time, right?
Wrong-o. Not today.
Everything just sort of got to me today. My health, my weight, my writing...so I went shopping. Not exactly the best thing to do when you hate how you look. I used to be a size 7 all throughout college and only went up to a size 9 when I met my hubby. It was the horrid birth control shot that started this roller coaster ride.
But I digress. I shall not bore you with the gruesome details!
I came home and popped in a James Bond movie - Goldeneye. I've been on a real movie kick this weekend - just didn't want to do anything else (besides that research trip to the library yesterday).
And for some really bizarre reason, I felt completely restored after I watched it. Was it the movie or the Reese's peanut butter cups I found stashed in the cupboard?
At any rate, I felt like cleaning. So I marched down to my office in the basement and went at it. Sweeping, dusting, organizing...I can see my desk again. If I had a digital camera, I'd take a picture and show you, but alas, I don't. So you'll just have to take my word for it.
I don't know if I'll get to my writing tonight, but it's okay if I don't.
My characters are acting a bit stiff right now - not sure why. But I hope to break through their block. I might be writing it in the wrong POV - I've done that before and switched it, and it worked out great. So we'll see what happens.
Onward! :-)

Living in the Land of "I Don't Wanna"
I'm currently at war with myself. The "you should be..." committee is fighting with the "I don't wanna" committ...
I'll help you break through your character block, if you come sweep, dust and organize my office... *g
ReplyDeleteI've had that POV switch thing save me before too. And sometimes not. *g* Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the POV switch! And Reese's Peanut Butter Cups can fix _any_ problem. :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate cures all, especially when mixed with Peanut butter!! Looks like you did something productive with the day after all. Hope the POV switch helps. I do that too after I struggle with a scene for a bit, then wonder why I didn't just think of it from the start.
