Rain, Rain, Go Away

Writing in public while slightly intoxicated is fun!

     But please dont come again another day!  I had some drama this week with a leak I have in my ceiling.  The worst drips happen to be over my desk where I write.  I had taped up some paper towels to try to keep myself and my new computer safe but this week the ceiling drips got me.  I was working on editing a video and then three tablespoons of water landed on my keyboard.  I screamed and turned of it off and threw it on my bed.  Such panic!  It had been days since my last back up of my book.  Not smart.  I was so upset I left in a huff and went to the pub down the street.  I spent the rest of the evening drinking hard cider and attempting to write.  It was mostly outlines, helpful but not what I wanted to be doing.  This happened Tuesday and I waited till Friday to turn it back on.  Thank goodness it turned back on with no problems!  To say this week was a fail is true.  I got some of my goals done, but not many.  Well at least maybe when the next round starts I will be in working order...

How was your week?

Beautiful Days on the Way

      The sunshine we have had lately has been inspiring and distracting.  It makes me want to do more, work and play.  I keep looking out the window to see if it is still blue sky.  My cat is also enjoying sitting in the window more.  Cute but distracting.  A friend asked if I like to write outside when it was nice, I said NO!  I am easily distracted as it is.  I get many good ideas daydreaming out in the sun, but actual writing is out of the question.  My thought process becomes; I like working outside, look at the clouds, pretty, oh a bug, hello little bug, the grass is so green here and not so much there, oh SQUIRREL!  Not productive.  Maybe someday I will be able to focus outside...  I doubt it.  

I am way behind for the A Round the Words in 80 Days or very early.  I have been lurking around the linky parties for months.  It made me start this blog but I lack the courage to post much or ekkk comment.  The sunshine has convinced me to change this.
