Blah...

I'm not exactly blue, I'm just blah. Everytime I think about writing, I just want to organize something instead.

In the last two days, I've catalogued a lot of our CD collection, worked up OWFI budgets, cleaned up the OWFI membership list, balanced my bank accounts, straightened files, did several months worth of personal filing, added a few items to my Amazon Seller listings, laundry, vacuuming. It's rather like the organizing self has drowned out the writing self. (This weird phase happpens monthly, usually lasting between a couple of hours to a couple of days.)

I haven't written anything in two days. Well, I'm going to reconcile the December OWFI bank statement, compose one OWFI e-mail, and then....I'm going to write, darn it!

I know what you mean. It isn't even housekeeping that keeps me from writing. It's the 'housekeeping' that goes into writing! Checking markets! Updating my submissions history! One more read-through before I can submit!

And now, at 11:15 pm, I'm ready to move on to actually writng something.

Yeah, I revised last night, and wrote about 500 fresh words. Still...mejor que nada!
