Just thought I'd pop in real quick to say Hi! The getting up at 2 a.m. is over, thank goodness. And T's doing mostly better, but we're (meaning me, Chriss, and the Joslin center) still not totally happy with his blood sugars. We're giving it until the end of the week before we decide if we need to make any further adjustments.
I spent most of last week procrastinating. You ever have one of those scenes you really don't want to write but you know you have to? You know the kind that just play too much with your emotions and leave you drained? I've had several of those lately, but one in particular. I spent 3 days avoiding with it. My methods of procrastination:
- watching TV
- reading
- goofing around on the internet
- dipping my fingers in melted candle wax over and over to see how thick of a layer I could get (yes, really, I was that desperate to avoid writing)
- talking on the phone with my writing partner and giving her all kinds of excuses as to why I haven't just finished the blasted scene yet
But I did finally sit down on Friday and write it. Then I spent Saturday morning perfecting it. What a relief to be done with that.
Today's scene wrote itself in my head word for word while I was shopping. I haven't had that happen since I had to stop taking my walks due to mean old winter. It definitely made it much easier when I sat down to write transfer it from my head to the screen. Of course, now I have to move on to more scenes like the one I procrastinated last week. I really can't wait until I'm past this section. Not only will it mean I'm that much closer to finishing, but it hopefully won't be so emotionally draining to write.
