Miss Me?
Posted on 30 September 2007
Gee, you abandon a blog for two months and the old brain is too dusty to even think of good excuses for being gone so long. Let’s just blame business travel, the start of the school year, and too many items on the to-do list lately. Sometimes I think my older daughter’s not the only one in the family with ADD. But I’m back.
Sorry to say that I abandoned the ”Seventy Days of Sweat” writing challenge in the meantime. I was a fool to think I’d be able to keep up blogging and writing while on a weeklong business trip and then a week at Disney with the family. I came back with blisters on my heels and dust on my computer.
But hey, this summer I did figure out why my computer kept inexplicably shutting itself off. My stupid screensaver. No more inexplicable shutdowns since deleting that program. Sheesh. I’ve been cursing this problem for more than a year, convinced my motherboard was going out.
In writing news, I haven’t written a lick on my murder mystery since late July/early August. *grimace* More than just a lack of dedication to keeping butt-in-chair, I’m suffering from a point of view crisis. I’m writing a story that has a really despicable bad guy in it. The person who offs him has a really good reason for doing so and is the most interesting person so far in the book. But if I get inside this killer’s head, it won’t be a murder mystery anymore; the reader will KNOW who did it.
So I’ve been standing off to the side, frowning at my story for a couple of months now.
Time for action. I’ll start writing again tomorrow morning even if I have to start from scratch. *shudder.*
