Wicked writer woman

[Guest]

This is my only time off, so this morning, I left everything, and tried to get some writing done.

As I worked, the warrior was getting some new lock installed. There have been some break-ins in the neighborhood, and we don't feel safe.

Anyway, the house was a mess. The traumatized neighbors each heard banging, and came to check if my house was ok. Each got a glimpse of my messy house and kitchen.

And I was writing away.

As the lockmaster finished his work, he cleaned up the mess he made, and he remarked, "It is very important to me to leave stuff clean!"

I heard the remark, understood, and did not acknowledge it, so he spoke louder. "My house, for example, is VERY CLEAN."

Me, the wicked writer woman, countinued writing away. They don't give out prizes for clean houses when you are dead. Thinking of it, they don't give out prizes for writing smut either...

Good on you! I only clean when my feet leave trails in the dust, though I shower every night. I don't like going to bed with that slightly (st)icky feeling after a day crafting porn.

Good on you, maharat. Who gives a rat's ass what the rubes think.

I'm glad no one can see the inside of our house right now.

Hey! You can still get in the front door - we have paper plates for takeout - we have clean clothes - the litter boxes have been changed (there's no way around THAT one) - my hot glue gun station is well armed and the costumes are completed, at least for my daughter. What else do we need?

At least for another two weeks. Then, damn it. The show will be over and it will be Thanksgiving.

I'll HAVE to clean.

Makes you wonder what it may be, exactly, that one is so all fired thankful about, doesn't it?

I only make a mad dash to clean my house if I know my mother-in-law is coming over or our Pastor is. lol... otherwise. . .eh. . I'll get to it.

So far I only have got some self...


...recognition.



It is amazing how much a woman is kept in line by those off-handed comments people drop. A few years ago they would have mortified me.

What's really irritating is that the same comments, made to a man, make no impression whatsoever.
How come those gits are immune?

NaNo with us. Then you have an excuse to ignore the housework for a month.

Oi... less of the 'gits' Every domesticated man has a wife behind him with a rolling pin, whilst my writing room is invariably a mess I keep the rest of the house pretty clean. The SO on the other hand is a disaster area, piles of papers everywhere and if I don't tidy behind her, pretty soon there is nowhere left to sit down... yet somehow... it is always, always my fault if the house is a mess.

I wish I could. I only have a couple hours a week ...

Maybe next year...

But of course it is...

I clean for two reasons - dust allergy and I just know that I feel more content and my mind is less hectic if my house is in order. It makes it easier for me to sit down and write. Mind you, it's a sort of organized chaos. But it's how I function best. Otherwise, I'd probably never clean.

My family is living in absolute squalor right now, with four creative people in one house-- two of which work out of thehouse, and the other two being art students. Everytime we get the living room cleared out, for example, it gives each one of us space to transfer some other project into the room, and presto-- one narrow walkway through, once more. It's the Tragedy of the Commons, in miniature.

By the way, has anyone seen "Stranger Than Fiction (duh, of course) Emma Thompson is so funny, individual, accurate, as the writer!

What's that saying? "An empty desk is the sign of a cluttered mind?"

So . . . "A cluttered desk is the sign of . . . ."

Oh, shit. Never mind.

Try not giving a shit what people think (Of course it's more complicated than that.)

When you're on your death bed, I bet you won't think "I wish I'd spent more time cleaning house."

My house is a wreck, and it's because I absolutely refuse to spend my time cleaning up after someone who can't pick up after himself.

Sign on my desk: A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind.

Sign on the refrigerator: Dull women have immaculate homes.

I have that same sign on my desk.

Yeah and I am sure that it is his wife that keeps it that way!!!

I once saw the cutest sign on a friends house, it hung over their front door.

"If you want to see me come anytime. If you want to see my house make an appointment."

lol

I hear ya. My sink is never completely empty and I am always behind on the laundry.

 

[Arafura]

Exactly. You reminded me to watch that again.

 

[Arafura]

I clean when I can't write. Or when I'm mad. At any rate, it's usually a bad sign.

Cheeky bastard! Who does he think gives a damn about his social commentary on cleanliness? <laughs>

Our place is a tip. I myself, am on the cusp of being tidy. I dislike mess and I hate things that are unclean and going mouldy. However, I am only just about motivated to keep my stuff sorted and even then, it often gets out of hand and has to be fixed with a big cleanup. Unfortunately, I'm marrying a girl who is slightly on the more untidy side of things, which is slowly dragging my equilibrium down to a lower level.

Plus, I'm in a student house. Trust me, yours is better than mine right now.

With my limited life experience, if the house is too clean, there is something going on. Either cleaning woman on the side, or a bit of OCD.

It is not that I prefer messy or that I don't clean. I just have very little time that is just for me, and when it happens, I grab it with all my heart. I am good with priorities, that is all.

Congratulations on your engagement. If I am allowed to be cheeky myself, I'd add that if she is untidy on the house department, chances are she is OK with untidy in other areas ...



It goes with the territory.
