I’m going to take a break.
Think I’ll spend a little more time with family and a little less time checking my email to see if anyone has reviewed my article.
Okay, so I love to write.
But do I really have to do it 24/7? I mean, I do have another job you know. So what if I don’t get the satisfaction out of it like I do putting word to paper? At least the other job pays.
Problem is, writing is all I think about. Every time something happens in my life I want to write it down and share it with the world. I mean, I can’t have any kind of experience, good or bad, where I’m not thinking what a great story it would make, scanning the newspaper, checking out the Internet, watching television just to find an idea. Praying for wisdom.
I’m not saying I’m ignoring my family or anything like that…oh, wait a minute…
“What’s that dear?”
Muffled sounds.
“Well, I’m kind of busy right now. Is it something one of the kids can do?”
More muffled sounds.
“What am I busy doing? I’m at the computer. It’s Sunday night, the Challenge has 163 entries, and I haven’t finished my article yet…”
Even more, louder, exaggerated, muffled sounds…
“Oh, that’s right, I told you I wasn’t going to enter the Challenge this week, huh? Well the, just a minute…”
Okay…I’m back. Sorry about the interruption. Like I was saying…
Muffled sounds…again. Really loud this time.
Oops. I think I have to go. Like I said, I’m taking a break this week.
