The "I Should Be Writing" Thread

[Selena_Kitt]

I should be writing my little paws off... I've got deadlines galore... and 8 open pieces... ahhhhhh!!!

so why am I eating peanut butter on graham crackers, drinking mint tea and lingering on Lit? Hm???

Anyone have a cure?

 

[chris 44]

So should I.

The house is cold, empty and quiet as the grave. Just me and this keyboard clicking away like a metronome as I rattle off the words. Most of my writing is done for the day now, this is relaxation time. Time for myself. Still got 70k words of the novel to rewrite by the weekend, and I'm about a month behind.

Ah well, there's always tomorrow

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I should be writing or cleaning or writing about cleaning but I'm not...and I don't care.

 

[silverwhisper]

OK, granted, maybe i'm an asshole for saying this on the morning my fourth work goes up at last, but...

i still have to finish chapter 5 of my fantasy novel (which is, of course, just book 1 in a series), a few non-fiction projects are still requiring my attention, etc...

you guys could however say that you're doing research... :>

If you find it let me know.
I have three myself going currently and the 5th of Feb is at hand and there's still editors time. Plus as slow as things are posting lately at lit, it is even worse. The way stories are being posted, you can make the deadline and may still not be up by the 12th.
This place does get addicting..........

does porn count as research?

Depends.

Is that writing it, or researching it ???

 

[cloudy]

I'm thinking about writing that damn story, does that count?

no?

Okay, then just pretend you're the tinman going to Oz. That could be fun.

I'm busy planning.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

I'm busy planning.

To overthrow the world?

 

[kendo1]

By next year if everything works out.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Finally, a break from work things that kept me in "shouldn't be writing mode." Not much energy for more than slumping in the traces, though. It will all start again too soon.

I did get a few pages of rough notes down for the latest idea. Perhaps I may be able to add to them tomorrow.

 

[kendo1]

Or the day after.

I'm too laid back just now.

 

[zeb1094]

I'm working with Pinky on the complete domination of the world by tonight!

 

[TxRad]

I came to work.... i actually showed up.... now they want me to do something.....

Writing porn ain't the something they want done.......

I'd quit but they won't let me.....

I owe, I owe, I owe, so maybe I'd better work....

Nah...... I dare em to fire me... oh wait... slaves have to be sold...

Any bidders......
