[Previous entry: "Light therapy"] [Next entry: "I Need a Wife"] 02/22/2005: "Crunch Time"
I've hit major crunch mode--and I'm not talking about a workout! I'm talking about the race to finish this book. I'm talking about abdication of most of life outside of writing--the plunge into junk food, wearing my pajamas all day, buzzing along on a couple of hours of sleep, and no one disturbs me unless it's a matter of imminent death. And if it's not imminent and you disturb me--well, it might be closer than you think. Replies: 5 Comments on Tuesday, February 22nd, Alison said I only like crunch time because it means I'm almost done with the beast and get to take a break! Why do I hate the process so much, LOL, when I love the product! on Tuesday, February 22nd, Diana said Hey, Jennifer, I love the new website! Good luck with your deadline -- you'll pull it together, and then you'd have Aruba as a reward. Here, borrow my muse -- I'm too busy with unpacking to write anyway. on Tuesday, February 22nd, Julie Lugar said

I don't write books, but I write for work, so I know the pain and joy of writing under deadline. Hope it goes well! We'll be here when you get back. on Wednesday, February 23rd, Jen said
Alison, LOL! Was it Dorothy Parker who said, "I hate writing, but I love having written."? Some days that's truer than others. |
"Go out as far as you can in your writing. I can rein you back in, but
I can't take you out there."
Writer Buddies Anna Adams “Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
Fun Links "If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
"Sex is not a sin. Many people have complained that this is taking all the fun out of sex.”
"I know the difference between a good man and a bad one, but I haven’t decided which I like better.”
"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
“Men make love more intensely at twenty but make love better, however, at thirty.”
“My sister was with two men one night. She could hardly walk after that. Can you imagine? Two dinners!”
“A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin.”
“I used to think I had ambition...but now I’m not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They’re easily confused.”

We should try something novel, like getting together for lunch so that we could actually see one another when I'm not blubbering over one of my animals in your office.
