Currently: I'm wiping noses...and reworking the partial of the lawyers book...and finishing up the erotica story...and eating too much Halloween candy...
Mood: Snarkilicious...boogers have that effect on me

This month we're s'posed to be rambling about how we keep our butt in the chair. If you've seen my butt lately, you know it's roughly the shape of a recliner, so that's not a problem for me. Actually working, now see...that's an issue.
As soon as I turn on my computer, I think I have a few moments to do something while it boots up. So I'll read a bit in whatever book is next to me. This probably loses me about 3 minutes since the computer is always ready before I am at a bookmark worthly place in the book.
Email beckons, and I must say it's the worlds best time waster, masked as a productivity device. After all, I passed notes with a bookseller and a conference organizer this morning...plus my editor, CP, brother-in-law, his girlfriend, my neighbor...and there was a wicked sale on at Gymboree...
Eventually I might actually open up the story I promised myself would be finished before NaNoWriMo started. But it seems teh story fairies have left it at the same stuck place it was at when I closed it at midnight last night...hmmm. Spider Solitaire anyone?
Of course as soon as I win a game, giving me the confidence I need to push my characters into the hotel...the baby wakes up. Or the school bus arrives. Or my mother calls. Not to mention the full sized dust bunnies that are talking about unionizing in my hallway...
And then there is art class and grocery shopping and babysitting the neighbor boy...by then there is dinner and a husband who might be worth talking to...
By the end of the day I am so disgusted with my productivity I do what I should have done at 8 am...I slide the wireless function off on the computer and write a load of crap. Which actually worked into a great scene and with a creative scene break managed to almost finish the story. Finally...maybe if I actually manage to start working tomorrow...
