The Struggle is Real for Writers


Me: *taking a deep satisfied breath* Aaaahhhh a whole evening all to myself! What shall I do today, on this fine Sunday evening? I think I'll work on my book. Yes, that's what I'll do. 

Computer: Wait. What did you just say?

Me: I said, I'm going to work on my book.

Computer: Oh. That's what I thought you said.

Me: Leave me alone, computer. I have important work to do.

Computer: Are you kidding me?

Me: No, I'm not, now go away!

Computer: I will not! You love me, remember?

Me: Nevermind that. Just keep quiet. *turns back on computer*

Computer: Oh come on! Let's hang out for awhile! You can finish that stuff later.

Me: No.

Computer: C'mon, pleeeeeaaaase?

Me: No.

Computer: But you know writing is TERRIBLY hard on your brain. You need to relax. Just come over here and spend some time with meeeeeeeee.

Me: But my brain ISN'T tired.

Computer: Why not?

Me: BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN A SINGLE WORD YET.


*Pause*


Sister: *walks in* Why are you yelling at the computer?

Me: ...

Sister: ...

Me: I-

Sister: Sometimes, I think you have some serious mental issues.


THE END

And that's the story of my mental shortcomings.
Ahem. That's all I have for you today, because, well, I gotta go write now. Today, I'm setting aside distractions. Meaning YOU, computer. (which is really quite strange because I'm on the computer right now. Fancy me talking about getting off the computer while I'm on the computer).
Ok, now I'm seriously getting off. BYE, PEOPLE!

  4. This speaks to me on a painfully true way. YOU YOURSELF IN WRITING A POST ON COMPUTER DISTRACTION ARE DISTRACTING MEEEH.
    I actually managed to ignore the plaintive pleading of Pinterest yesterday, and wrote a few pages of my story.
    ANYWAY. I MUST GO. But it's great to read your posts, whenever or whatever you post. SO POST MORE, DARLING.

    WELL I'M GLAD YOU LIKED THE POST! :D I know... I was able to finish a scene that I was working on, and though it doesn't sound too good, I'm going to leave it alone for awhile and hopefully it will sound better. :P
