Writerly Stuff

No late nights, no booze (not even wine), nothing until I get this proposal done. Between my job and writing, I’m probably working 55-60 hours a week. It’s not that bad, honestly, but I just can’t afford to be tired all the time. If I’m not burnt out, I can produce something decent. So I’ll stop with the energy-draining activities. Since it’s the weekend, I have plans for brunch and a facial today. After that, I’m sitting my ass down at a place with wifi and churning out the rest of this thing by Monday. I don’t care if it is Saturday and I have to write at 1am. I need to finish this.

Also, it is really hard to write about people who are still in your life and constantly evolving. They do crazy shit like break up with their girlfriends and there goes everything you’ve ever assumed about them along with a good thousand words or so. So can everyone try to sit tight and not shatter any more of my major assumptions until I finish this? Wait until Monday to come out of the closet/cheat on your boyfriend/confess your undying love. Kthx.

    At least you can write while on the Internet. Too much of a temptation for me. I’ll be writing, writing, writing, then stop for a minute to sneak a peak at a friend’s journal or something. 2 hours and 50 blogs later…
