So, last night I dealt with some family drama. I won’t go into what because that’s just not information I’d ever put on the web. But it was crappy and I was seriously stressed. Why am I even mentioning this? Because I figure everyone goes through some shit from time to time that effects their writing.
I made my wordcount yesterday…got everything done that I intended to get done, but I have no idea if it’s complete crap and I’ll have to go back and delete it. Which would really suck because I’m kind of on a really tight deadline.
How do other people handle the stress of real life when the shite hits the fan? I just don’t know. I muscled through it last night and got my work done, but it was a crap night over all and I dragged my happy ass into work this morning () and got the “Oh, honey. Are you sick?” speech from like four people. Yeah. That made me feel better about my life choices.
And as an FYI: go vote at the Predators & Editors poll. It’s open until the 14th, I believe. You can pick fave authors, artists, editors, forums *cough* Romance Divas *cough* And, no, this isn’t a plea for a vote for myself. I haven’t been nominated for anything. But good luck to everyone!
*sharpens red pencil and cackles with glee* We’ll see if it’s complete crap on Saturday. Mwahahahahaha!! OK, so that can work both ways…
Remember, you’re going to catch up on your sleep over the weekend. Everything will look a little better (even you when your co-workers give you the once over) when you’ve had some sleep.
