So, now that I've started this thing, it's taken on a life of its own. Ideas are zinging through my brain so fast I can't keep up with them all. Writing ideas down on any scrap of paper I can get my hands on. I have this really cool "My Writing Spot" app on my phone, but it by the time I manipulate that technology, I've forgotten why I'm there.
And then, I sit down at the computer......
Um, what was that great thought I had? Where the fuck is that paper? OMG, I have lost my mind. Or my muse is seriously fucking with me. She does that a lot. She's a real tease.
So, I read my favorite bloggers. And the journey from webpage to webpage begins. There are so many fantastic blogs out there that I spend hours reading, forget whose blog I started on, want to bookmark so many of them (my "These people make me laugh" list is woefully unfinished), and, oh shit, I'm lost again! Yes, I could look at my browsing history, but then my brain goes into vapor-lock.
And then a kid interrupts me. Or my phone rings/dings/vibrates. Or my email notification pops up. Or there's a great song on SomaFM Groove Salad that I have to find out about (check them out here http://somafm.com/play/groovesalad). Or I remember there are clothes in the washer/dryer. Or that I forgot to pack my lunch for tomorrow. Or decide what the hell POS outfit I'm wearing to work (for the eighteen-thousandth time). Then the bottle of Fris vodka is calling me from the freezer (Sadie, dah-link, it's martini time! xoxo). Seriously, it's a wonder I can think at all (yeah, Paul Simon, only it ain't the crap I learned in high school that's distracting me now. I forgot most of that shit YEARS ago).
But my blog needs me, I rationalize. It's almost like my new baby. Yeah! Only no diapers or vomit! Or crying! I can turn it off whenever I want to! (RIGHT...) Wonder if I could somehow take "New Blog-itis Leave" from work?! Oh, poor blog, I hope I don't become a helicopter mom (I so swiped that from The Mouthy Housewives http://www.mouthyhousewives.com/).
Ok, gotta run, seriously, stuff to do, people to tuck in, dishes to wash, etc., etc., etc......and more ideas to draft!
