Writers Write

"All writers are discontented. That's because they're aware of a potential and believe they're not reaching it." --- William Saroyan

I always harp on writers finding time to write. If it's important... you'll find the time. Get up early, write at lunch, skip TV, whatever.

I never thought I'd say this... but I'm having a hard time finding time to write. I already get up early. I already work through my lunch. And I probably don't watch four hours of TV a week, and even then I have my laptop on my lap.

I'm frustrated.

So, starting today...I'm writing. If other stuff has to fall to the wayside, it has to. I'm taking at LEAST an hour today and I'm going to WRITE. I miss writing. I have all these half-finished stories calling to me. And, the biggest problem is, once I've been away too long, I have to use precious writing time to re-read the story and remember stuff... the little details, remarks, hints of things I want to do.

So, dang it. The world (or the website, or my other duties) won't come to an end if I take an hour off. I may get an ulcer from it...worrying that it will, indeed, come to a disasterous end. But, dang it all, I owe it to myself and I'm gonna.

So there.

Writers write. And I'm a writer.

So, a question for the ages--Bath mats.

Do you:

A. Keep them off the floor (hanging over the tub or whatever) when you're not showering... they're BATH mats, not rugs; or

B. Keep them on the floor at all times... they're pretty AND functional.

I read on a blog somewhere about someone who had a completly different answer than I did, and to be honest, it never occured to me that people would think differently than me on this. After all, it's not typically contentious like, say, which way to put your toilet paper on the roll (my first roommate and I used to have knock-down drag-out fights on this).

I'll tell you my answer tomorrow -- I don't want to sway the answers. But, I must know if I'm that odd (or if this other person is!).

It's going to warm up this week -- maybe even as warm as FIFTY DEGREES!!!!!!! Spring is coming... melt that snow! Woot! I am doing the Dance of Joy!!!
