Like most of us, I wanna write. Like (I suspect) most of us, mundane life-related things get in the way.
Item: I have one weekday off per week. I try to write, on that day. How come only on that day (not my husband's work-at-home day) everything blows a gasket? The water heater starts to spew, the cat needs her blood sugar checked (yes, really), the car needs a muffler...guess whose work is shoved aside?
Item: when my college-age girl moved out, I claimed her room as my writing space. This was nothing new--I'd threatened for years to do so. The MINUTE I moved a used file cabinet, desk and laptop in there, the family decided it would make a great store-room. Now there are books and tapes "I'm gonna go through" scattered allovahdahplace. Last I glanced in there, I couldn't even walk across the floor. Needless to say, it's NOT where I'm doing my writing.
I call for an end to sabotage!!
