Don't bother me I'm writing: October 2014

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Friday, October 17, 2014. My AMAZING week of "I hate eveything". I try to keep things funny, so even when I'm a Debbie Downer there's an element of comedy to it, but I swear John Steinbeck moved into my head space this week, and he's kind of a joy sucker. Things go wrong sometimes. There's no rhyme or reason. They just fall apart. Is it worthy of saying "well done" when you make it through the day intact? We were doing homework a couple of hours later when she finally hit the...

Don't bother me I'm writing: Writer's desperation

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012/03/writers-desperation.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. I start to panic mid morning - I have nothing to write about. What am I going to do; oh my God the world is going to end; please let me think of something; there's got to be something worth while in my stupid brain; think god dammit; I only have a little time left. You son-of-a-bitch, you left the bodies, and you only moved the headstones, didn't you? Perhaps, though unlikely. The longer I spin my wheels grasping for topics to write about - words to ...

Don't bother me I'm writing: December 2014

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. The Insecure Writer's Support Group: Give yourself a break! The holidays kill me. There's so much stuff- lights, trees, parties, happy, alcohol, children, hot chocolate, snow, family, fudge, Charlie Brown.It's so exciting, and there are so many sources of inspiration, BUT it's exhausting and everything moves so fast. I never get much writing done at the end of the year. Some days you have it, and some days you don't". Words aren't like dogs. The...

Don't bother me I'm writing: If I'd only known then ...

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012/03/if-id-only-known-then.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. If I'd only known then . I had this daydream which I'm compelled to preface with the following facts. No. 1. I'm a writer - a dramatic storyteller. No. 2. The principal told me I was too incompetent to flip burgers at McDonald's. No. 3. I watched a lot of soap operas. No. 4. I hate being naked. I'm glad I'm a grownup - you couldn't pay me enough to go back and do high school all over again. But had I known then that my problems would not always.

Don't bother me I'm writing: November 2012

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Insecure writer's support group. Some people go on vacation to vegetate - to chill the hell out. I go on vacation to write, but it usually happens that other things get in the way like VACATION and children and "knock, knock - housekeeping.". This time was different. I went to Hawaii for a week with my dad - no kids, no husband - just me, dad, my computer and a couple of spiral notebooks. I spent most of the first and second days fretting about th...

Don't bother me I'm writing: SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012/03/shut-your-pie-hole.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Monday, March 26, 2012. SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE. I tried to fashion myself a pair of noise-suppressing headphones today from a bra and a pair of water-filled bust enhancers that never leave my underwear drawer, because I'm too embarrassed to use them. My design failed - Hank Hill's stupid voice is still violating my eardrums as are my children's repeated attempts to break down the door. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? March 26, 2012 at 9:42 PM. I showed you mine - its your turn now. AB-E-NORM...

Don't bother me I'm writing: Children and demons: is there a difference?

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2014/11/children-and-demons-is-there-difference.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Monday, November 3, 2014. Children and demons: is there a difference? I'm a fairly dramatic woman with two fairly dramatic daughters; I've been waiting for, "I hate you," and, "You're the worst mom ever! But my 9-year-old, Lily, caught me off guard a couple of weeks ago with this gem, "We used to be so close, Mommy. What happened? I cried all day until Lily got home from school, and I asked her what she was thinking. Ever since Ashlyn was born I've felt this way.". AND THEN w...

Don't bother me I'm writing: Destroy all the people

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012/05/destroy-all-people.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Destroy all the people. I saw an ad at work for a chainsaw the other day - and NO I have no desire to embark on a violent killing spree - I saw the ad and I went all tingly imagining the reaction I'd get just standing there with a gas powered chainsaw screaming in my hands. I'm a question mark on a good day - the crazy b* ch who everyone knows. They'll see on the evening news one night post flip out. What would people think? Would they run in terror?

Don't bother me I'm writing: It's bad to torture kids, but it's fun

http://dontbothermeimwriting.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-bad-to-torture-kids-but-its-fun.html

Don't bother me I'm writing. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. It's bad to torture kids, but it's fun. Oh to come home to my little girls diving off the couch - THUD - and screaming at an earsplitting pitch that only girls can master. What fun. My hair has been sufficiently brushed and slathered with the latest trend in styling products - 2 percent cottage cheese and tiny bits of Velveeta. Mommy, what are you doing? Mommy, what are you doing? Mommy, what are you doing? Here is where my daughters' personalities st...
