I feel a bit guilty about choking off the oxygen to my blog, but these revisions are owning me. And I realized today that I haven’t cleaned off my desk in…longer than I’m willing to say…because ofthis BOOK. Agh! Luckily, S respects this as my space and doesn’t care if I crap it up (the food table is another thing). But today I stepped back for a minute and felt the shame. I MUST finish revising so I can send this thing off for crits and rent an EXCAVATOR.
Just to expose myself completely to head shakes and tsk tsks, there are at least three months+ of bank statements and a wedding invite RSVP I haven’t sent yet in that thing on the wall (I’m IN that wedding – so um, yeah)…There are Christmas cards, receipts, bills (paid/unpaid), uncountable sticky notes on every surface available (I have a sticky note problem – I stick sticky notes to sticky notes – I have a notebook that I write stuff in, and then stick sticky notes on top of the pages), a three pount free weight, two car registration renewals, an extra laptop battery, a christmas ornament, a birthday hat for my dog, a baseball hat I got for free, ~10 CDs in boxes, 2 loose, a copy of UGLIES I heart too much to put away, oh — and LOTS of CAT HAIR.
I know what you’re thinking…what about that nice black file cabinet…hmmm? I think it rusted shut.
I don’t see a problem with that photo. I thoroughly approve of your filing system. *blinks innocently*
Props for organized chaos! w00t!
I’m smiling because I recently took a picture of the disaster that is my office, thinking I would post it on LJ along with a picture of my newly organized office.
Still working toward that second photo!
Ahahaha! There will be no second photo for me. I will just get sucked inside it…like that muppet trash heap thing… Oh what movie WAS that??
Haha . . . I recognize this photo. Sort of looks like my desk. Except I have a lot more food wrappers floating around
Oh, and no cat hair!
Ah see, you are truly missing out on the pleasures of food wrappers AND cat hair. Mmmmm.
WE CAN BEAT THIS THING! BY THINGS, I MEAN OUR NOVELS.
(I totally did not break radio silence to write this)
(*whistles*)
courtney
You mean twitter-silence? Hee. (actually that’s totally keeping me going – I might shrivel up and lose the will to type without a random feed of Courtney comments to brighten my ‘tude.)
Well, if we don’t beat them, they might beat us, and mine is looking pretty painful around 240 pages, so um…RUN!
