So, the end of the world summer vacation has officially begun.
Help me. Someone.
Send wine, it pairs nicely with the whine I already have, especially if you drink enough of it.
It seems that my kids want to hang around the house and annoy me decided that they don’t want to go to camp.
Seriously? And I tried SO HARD to entice them to go. I almost even bribed them.
Nope, no such luck. Home is where their lazy asses hearts are.
I think that the reason I’m not embracing the summer vacation thing this year is…I work from home. I don’t do well with distraction, my ADD doesn’t allow it. The shiny is bad enough when they are gone. Having them home is going to be like a dog not knowing which squirrel to chase first.
My husband said that it’s too bad, I’m just going to have to get used to the chaos, screaming, whining about boredom small change in noise level and activity.
I’m not sure how it’ll play out.
I may have to rent a place to live, all by myself, for the summer. I mean, doesn’t that sound awful? Being all alone. In a little place. By the Mediterranean.
Anyways…
I looked at my blog today and was like WHOA. I can’t believe I haven’t had a post here since June 1st. It’s not for the lack of stuff to post about. Because yeah, lots ‘o’ stuff. I just can’t write about it because lots ‘o’ eyeballs.
I’ll just fill you in on a few quick thingamabobbers for now…
1. BanShe. Oh yeah. August 4. NYC. My co-hosts are MaryMac, @MrsStrick and @TracyinSuburbia. You can follow us on Twitter at @BanSheParty. We have created a Facebook group and you can join us there. AND…we are working on a site for BanShe Party, coming soon to the internet near you. We are the ULTIMATE PARTY FOR bloggers BY bloggers. So, yeah, stay tuned. More information on its way.
Also, You Won’t Go Blind has relaunched, if you didn’t already know. I’ve partnered with fabulousness in the name of Chanize and that site is being run like one of those tight ships. All the stuff coming up…it’s insane. And the stats there are CRAZY!
Another thing, I still DO have writers block. BAAAAAAAADDDDD. Which is why this is a random post with random thoughts that are running amok. I’m just typing whatever is flying from my brain to my fingers. I need to get back into a writing habit. Only problem is, I don’t have any interest in writing about my life, in particular. So, if anyone has an interesting life that I can borrow to write about, I’d be eternally grateful.
Let’s see here, what else can I share with you? Um…I want to write a book but I think that a full length novel is daunting. I mean…80,000 words…holy shit…how do you people do it? No, seriously, how? I need someone to explain to me how to write a book in terms I can understand. Speak slowly and clearly, please because I’m staring in shock at the 80,000 minimum so I might be a little deficient in the understanding department. But if I could express to you HOW BADLY I want to write…like, so badly that a lump is forming in my throat right now and I know it’s a combination of the wordstipation and the tears…
I just need a little help, is all. Like…organizing my thoughts, figure out chapter order…that sort of thing. Go ahead, I’m ready to listen now…
Anyways, I’m going to try to write on a daily basis because writing is sort of an important thing when one wants to be a writer, ya know.
That’s what’s going on in my brain right now, what’s going on in yours?
So I’m now following you on Twitter for BanShe party, I tried FB too but it says “page not available” – do I have to be invited or something?
Writing a novel is HARD. I would start out with maybe a book of short stories?? I majored in Creative Writing in college and it’s still hard to write long stories for me, the longest mine has ever been was like 20-30 pages in Word.
Today, what’s going on in my brain is … it’s June 18th! June is more than halfway over and soon it will be July 1 and the summer will be too. That’s nuts.
Today I’m thinking I want to write too. I need to send out a few pitches, but I’m distracted by my BlogHer anticipation and my newest Twitter addiction, BanShe, thanks. 🙂 Seriously though, I need self control!
