Day 2 of Creativity Challenge
It was another one of those days today. It’s shaping up to be one of those weeks where I don’t get a whole day to sit and do nothing but write.
Monday it was the annual stress test. Tuesday it was shopping with my boy, and while I love spending time with him, by the time he was done dragging me all over the city to check out bikes and sport shoes and all manner of other things 20-something young men like, I was wiped out and ready to sleep for a week! Today it was the eye doctor that took me out of work mode for most of the day.
I think I can breathe tomorrow. I have one errand to run in the morning, and other than that I’m not doin’ nuthin’ for nobody that doesn’t involve a yellow legal pad, and my favorite pen! In fact, if it’s a nice day (it’s raining right now) I might even take said pad and pen and park myself at the riverside cafe for the morning and work there where I can’t be interrupted.
I did finally get to start writing around 6 p.m. tonight and I worked straight through until about 10:30 with just a short break to eat dinner. I ended up shutting myself away at the writing desk in my room — away from the computer, and the tv, and all the other distractions like kid and dog. I’m actually working on a product about creativity, and I got about half the first draft written. I had hoped to get the whole thing done before I had to stop and write this post, but that was probably a little unrealistic on my part. It will be interesting to see how much more I get done tomorrow when I know I don’t have to stop and run all over the city.
That’s it for me tonight. I think I might go back in the other room and see if I can’t get the first draft finished before calling it a night.
