Creatively interrupted
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but I have had the idea of starting a book for years and years. Not I book that I believe will ever really get published, but if I finish it and like it enough, I may try.
Anyway, the point is, that I don't write often and when I do, I always have to reformulate my ideas due to the long periods of creative dormancy on my part so not a lot of writing actually does get done in this sessions.
Well once school stopped for the month, I figured I would give it another shot. I mean, I have nothing else to do, so why not? The day before yesterday, I gave it said shot and spent a few hours recollecting myself. Then yesterday, I moved on. I grabbed my laptop and was on a roll.
And then it happened. My one day husband came along and interrupted me. When I asked him about this occurrence, I mentioned that I told him that I would be spending a lot of time in front of the computer. Alone. He had said he had no problems with this. I don't think he understood it though because he came and wanted me to go with him to rent video games. Not only did he want to me to come along for the ride though, he wanted me to play said video games!
He then informed that he had no problems with letting me spend all my time in front of the computer--once I got published. Now my thinking follows the lines of how in the heck am I supposed to get published if you don't let me write. Who knows?
Anyway, we ended up playing these video games all night and then nicely watching HGTV for some time until going to sleep.
It's frustrating now though because I had just written my first sex scene and believe me, I never thought I could. Turns out, it was much easier than I thought. It isn't like I haven't read countless books to help me on the topic and how it should feel.
Now, I don't even want to get started anymore, for fear that said one day husband will come bombarding in my created world again. I've only got seven pages now. I'm SURE that if I'd been left alone, I could have greatly increased this measly amount.
Bah.
What's a girl to do when creatively interrupted?
PS -- I will admit one though; the games were pretty fun albeit frustrating. Very frustrating. I hate losing and I'm never really very good at video games. If I get stuck, I would much rather just quit and never play it again.
PPS -- If you've read previous blogs, you'll know that I had plans yesterday to go to the dollar theater with some friends we hung out with earlier this week. That never happened due to the closed status of said theater. FYI.
