  2. Ah, I so relate...with the hamster wheel one too.

    Silly woman - putting them in a file. You're supposed to paper your bathroom walls with them...

  8. Heather: I'm with you on that one.
    Kelly: I know. It doesn't get any easier. We writers are a masochistic lot.
    Sam: I use all my discarded first chapters for wallpaper. Gmail is google's server-side email program. It is still beta so "not anyone" can have an account. I hate being left out.
    Joely: Just wait, there's 99 more excuses coming!
    Prego: OMG!! How cute are they! And, what a *sweet* response. I couldn't think of a better reason not to write.

  10. That's hilarious. Isn't it funny how we have to come up with reasons not to write. I'm getting better at realizing that I'm procrastinating, then I force myself to sit down and do it.
