Glazed Look
I had the entire weekend to write. I sat at my computer for two days ... and stared. Stared. And stared some more. I forced myself to sit there for hours. I got through half a page. I could not focus or concentrate at all. My eyes did not even want to look anymore. To be honest, I felt like only going to sleep the whole time.
Yes, today is the last day of tax season. Was it just that my body knew it was the end of the season and decided to collapse then?
A great waste of two lengthy writing days, but I can't beat myself up. Or at least I'm trying not to. Because I still sat. Butt was in chair. As I read somewhere yesterday, ah yes, in The Writer magazine, if I could have written better I would have. And I would have. I tried.
I just have to get over what might have been. Two long, glorious, free days .... Stop!
Ever have the perfect time to write, then can't? Ugh.
Hugs, C

Oh GAWD yes. All the time. Especially when I got whole days--or HOURS of daylight.
Maybe i just work better late into the night when I have had no noticeable large chunks of sleep.
Bethany, I always wished I was a night owl. I had this belief that I could get so much more done. Of course, I had insomnia once and it was not productive at all! Darn!
Yes, yes, YES! I've blown several perfect, lengthy writing days because I just couldn't get into the zone. So frustrating. As to you, C, I think you've been brain dead due to the intensity of your day job. That's easing up now though--thank goodness. I predict some productive writing days in your near future!
Ohhh, yes, Cyndi. Unfortunately, I know that feeling well. Or not so well because I hate when it happens to me!
