Dear Diary:
I think this story is crap.
Dear Diary:
Madame
Lash says it doesn't matter if the story is crap at this stage or not.
You have crap, you can fix it. You don't have crap, there's nothing to
fix. Write the pages!

How many cans of Pepsi Max equal one novella and a set of revisions on a full novel?
Dear Diary:
Why can't a GP in Australia remove three bits that need to be removed, all at once?
Dear Diary:
Yes, I made the appointment to go back and have the rest taken care of. Hmph.
Dear Diary:
My
arm hurts and I think I've created a monster because I always used to
have to write in complete silence, but then they started on the
renovations next door (I don't mind, really, I'm a great, tolerant,
understanding neighbour and it isn't even an issue that it's going to
take months and months and months before it's done).
I've
created a monster because in desperation I blasted music to drown out
the renovation noise, (and really, I don't mind it at all, honest) and
now I can't seem to write without music blasting.
Dear Diary:
How
many times can you play Eric Clapton in one day without other members
of the household feeling the need to leap out a window?
Dear Diary:
Do
you think I'm procrastinating? Because honestly, my arm hurts and I
really think this draft is crap today, and I have errands to run on the
way to work and how much point is there writing another page of crap
before I go?
Dear Author
Write the damn pages and stop whining. There's a reason you have a picture of me up above your computer.
Dear World:
I think Madame Lash has possessed my Diary.
Uh, I think I will get back to writing now.

Dear Jennie ...
first of all .... ((((hugs)))) for those three bits that needed to be removed and I'm really sorry that your arm hurts
now ... the writting crap part .. I'll have to agree with Madame Lash .. You have crap, you can fix it. You don't have crap, there's nothing to fix.
hmmm .. neighbours noisey reno ... well, that just plain ole sucks .... maybe wearing head phones to muffle their noise would have been a better solution than turning your stereo up ;)
it's so nice to "see" you .... hope your arm heals up very fast

Jennie!
I wondered why you'd been MIA so much. I SO feel your pain on the novella and crap bits. Was at a workshop last weekend and the woman asked, "What motivates you?" Linda Ford piped up and said, "Deadlines." That's why I'm writing crap these days. Deadlines say I need to write it and I can't fix it if I don't put SOMETHING down.
Hope things are on the upswing for you.

Jennie, your diary made me laugh - not in a mean way. I so get this!
I hope your horrid neighbours stop making noise soon.
And I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humour.

The Diary
Nice to 'see' you too Katherine. I have been MIA a lot in past months. As I think I mentioned, I've been reuinted with my eldest son after being separated at his birth - I am so filled with joy I've found it difficult to give attention to some of the 'regular' things of my life. Getting back to those, slowly slowly. And spending a fair amount of my 'not writing' time, daydreaming and just letting my heart enjoy the happiness.
Okay, now that I've been mushy, I'd better get back to the writing.
Hugs to all of you, and thanks for stopping by to post.
