It's really amazing, the things
It's really amazing, the things you find to do when you're avoiding a writing project. I managed to research family history and research scanners, DVD players, and trackballs this afternoon.
I did, however, also manage to do some disease research, which I needed to do for my project. Go me.
Like I said in an email to Brand -- who's the head writer on Liberation -- "I need to be somewhere where the frigging PHONES aren't ringing. The idea's right there, but it won't come out. I feel like I'm in labor." I hate this feeling. It makes me feel unfocused and fidgety, with my attention leaping from one thing to another.
Someone needs to come up with a Lamaze class for ideas.
Argh. I hate this part
Argh. I hate this part of writing. My deadline for Liberation is officially the 27th, and to be honest, I've not written a word for it, with all the stuff going on in my family recently. I'm a little freaked out. Okay, a lot freaked out. I'm having an incredibly difficult time getting back into the writing mindset. Add to that the training I'm starting to do at work, and my time is cut even shorter. I feel overwhelmed. It's not a good feeling.
