Editing When You're Sick: Part II
You might remember from Monday that my answer to "What do you do when you're sick, but your edits are due?" was this:
Just Edit.
Well, yesterday I found out that sometimes that just isn't possible.
Yesterday my head was so gunky that no thoughts could swim their way through the bacteria to the surface of my brain, much less make their way down through my fingers, through the keyboard and up onto the computer screen.
So I finally hauled my sorry self to the doctor and got an antibiotic and a special squirtie thing for my nose.
Not that it helped immediately. Yesterday nothing got done. Nada. Zilch.
But today I woke up and . . . I'm still sick!
But at least today the thoughts (so far) appear to be able to swim their way through all the junkie stuff and cough themselves up onto my computer screen. Progress! I'll take it!
So after a little breakfast smoothie, I'm taking up the mantra again: Just Edit!
Wish me luck!
