Writing whilst being interrupted repeatedly is not very conducive to writing anything at all interesting- I cannot get in the zone this year, because I have to write around my children, dog, and husband, all of whom are consumed by a maniacal desire to speak to me continually without break (not the dog), chew on my leg (not the kids), and otherwise interrupt my flow continually with questions, concerns, and demands. This combined with the fact that my main character has no personality is causing me severe writing chagrin. If such a thing exists. I am trying to post on your blogs as much as possible, but please understand, kind readers, that even my comments have been interrupted several dozen times. ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to try to somehow get some uninterrupted writing time (yeah, right, Jill, dream on), and try to post some of the unoriginal, derivative claptrap you have all come to know and love.
Jill, I believe in not only your ability to write something amazing (you always do), but also your ability to yell at your kids and get them to go away. You can do this!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that writing is going so rough... It's all to be expected with trying to write while on a camping trip/family vacation! I'm also chagrined to hear that Matt keeps chewing on your leg. That's kind of weird and gross. Like Kiefer Sutherland.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should take the above blog, and cut and paste it into your book somehow. Even your blogs are Pulitzer material, and even when written when driven to distraction.
