I'm Itching, Itching!

I have about 10 minutes to write this in between client work. Because a computer program decided to break (this is what they do best, right?). Huzzah for a breather!

So let's get to the point. I'm itching, y'all. Itching! I was trying to see if ITCHING would go along with the Mickey Mouse song so we could all sing it out loud together. But it won't, so I'll move on. I'm itching to write again.

The trouble is that I've been struggling to find the brainpower to write anything at all after working such long hours. Ok, *cough*, let's be honest...I haven't written anything in a long while. It looks like my last blog post in here was in March of this year.

Eek!

I think I'm the type of writer who needs breaks sometimes. And occasionally, very long breaks (months). But then I come back and I'm ready to go. Ready to pump out words. Ready to make it flow.

And right now I'm itching so much that I'm taking a measly 10 minutes to drum my keys frantically and write about how much I'm itching to write.

Ok so we're at about the two minute mark. That leaves me about three more minutes to say anything else I want to say before I need to spend the last five minutes editing.

Here are my other random thoughts:

  • The title of my book needs to change. I don't know what it's going to be yet, but it's going to change. It ain't workin' for me anymore.
  • The new medication I have to take makes my brain mush sometimes. It's hard to find the right words on occasion when I talk. I'm hoping this doesn't translate to my writing. That would be a tragedy. Although I think I shall survive.
  • My freelance business is exceptionally successful, although I'm probably spending less than 50% of my time writing these days. Which is good and bad. Good because writing is exhausting. Bad because either way, I'm tired.
So there you have it. I think I have satisfied my itch for now.

But only for now.

Stay tuned, because I'm going to make a spectacular comeback, an exceptional return, an awesome re-entry! Ok, that's a bit of a hyperbole. I'll be back...soon...I hope. :)

Now, time to edit.
