I Don't Believe Today

[queenoftheskies]

Too tired to live. Three OT days in a row. Found out today that I have to work on Thanksgiving and the day after. Not supposed to have to do that in a damned office job. I've never had to work on Thanksgiving before. This sucks!

I got home so late tonight that there hasn't been much time to write, but I couldn't die--uh, sleep--without writing a little.

Well, while I usually write more than that at a time, after I've worked over 10 hours and had a hugely STRESSFUL day, been gone from home over 12 hours, still taken care of three kids, ignored my health and sleep....

I have very few active brain cells, I'm usually half-sick, and yesterday, I just felt good to have written anything at all. It would have been very easy just to go to sleep, but writing is important to me and I want to write something EVERY day, even if it's not a lot. It's still something, and with everything crowding my life, that's really important to me.

Eh, I don't hold myself to writing every day. I figure the days where I go on nine-hour benders without food or even stopping to pee make up for the days when I do nothing.

Besides, every time I force myself to write, I end up with crap that I have to toss out. I know some authors succeed holding themselves to a rigid schedule but I'm far too chaotic for that.

Okay, there we go...I just banged out a point-form conversation I thought up earlier (actually overheard in my head but there's no need to let on too much about my insanity), and I figured it'd be maybe 500-600 words, but it's 1131.

So if that was written out with full sentences and such, it'd probably be at least 1300 words, and that's about as short of a writing session that I can do.

And yes, I banged it out in Notepad (but briefly stuck it in Word for the count just to check).
