In between work-words and book-words, I've spent a lot of time rocking around the roof the past few days. Today I had a houseful of cult affiliates and we gobbled spinach artichoke dip baked in a bread-loaf. I've been writing so much that my mind is grateful of the shutdown moments that come, which is why I've been scarce. Computer screens have officially succeeded at frying my eyeballs and I'm going to have to visit an optometrist in the very...
I've had a good run of book obsession blog family. For the past four days all free moments involve some type of click. A friend of mine even went so far to make the comment, "Man. Since you copped that new laptop, you're working on your book like woah." Over the past few days I got through around 20,000 words and concluded the session with, "Sheesh."
