Mind Fake

Okay, so this is a first for me.  As I sit down to blog this morning, all I can think about are the revisions awaiting me.  How I should be concentrating on my work, not squandering away this precious time writing something that no one really wants to read anyway.

Wow, I just read that last sentence and I sound completely bummed.  Time to turn on Down by Jason Walker.  (Wish it was available for my playlist, but it isn't). This song about sums up my life as a writer. Gloomy and sad, wishes unfulfilled.  But it's also putting me in the perfect mood to write a tear jerking scene, setting the stage.  Maybe if I stubbed my toe that would help, too.  My dog just got ran over by a car--oh wait, I don't have a dog.  Not since the last one died of bone cancer six years ago.  Still not over Caesar, my faithful ass kicking rottie, who would have gladly ran into a burning building to save any one of us.  Oh, there it is, now I'm tearing up.  Seriously.  Didn't take much today. Time to go grab a frosty D. Coke and hit those revisions!  Hope your day is opposite mine and you have a Happy Tuesday!
