While I’ve been semi-good at semi-regularly posting blogs. I have let the manuscript get away from me. Ten pages in two weeks is hardly an accomplishment. Granted I know that research is part of the process, but I am my own worst enemy when it comes to pushing forward. Call it block if you will, I just call it avoidance at present. There is nothing physically or mentally keeping me from clacking the keys (as evident from the blog post).
The local fire has be a bit preoccupied today. I am in no danger of having to evacuate, but friends’ have had to. I left the house yesterday to head to the shelter to foster a pup or eighty until they can get back to their normal, and the car died on my road.
I got it started again, but didn’t feel comfortable driving it and having it not start with a few unknown puppers in the vehicle with me.
So I got the truck back up the hill and decided that imbibing a few hard seltzers was a good consolation prize.
However, please note in that equation- I did not go back to writing.
I do need to buckle down and get clacking.
How do you all cope with avoidance?
