Thoughts and Horrid Hormones November 9, 2006
Posted by Jen in : Journal, Novel, Writing Bits , 5 commentsIt’s early. I decided that today would be the day I started getting up early to make headway on my novel. I managed last week to justify my lack of actual typing of words (to thus improve word count) by the fact that I’d actually Had Some Thoughts. Clearly these are not going to carry me through for very long. Perhaps I need to have more thoughts? How many ideas or thoughts does a person need to have every day, I wonder?
I mean, I obviously have lots of thoughts. But the number of thoughts far outweigh the amount of control I have over my brain. This equates to the the sad truth that most of my thoughts are either:
a - Complete Random Rubbish
b - Very Clever Thoughts but About the Wrong Things
You can see my dilemma.
And now, trying to chase my thoughts around the room and rearrange them into a pretty pattern, my tea has gone cold. And I can’t bloomin well write anything without tea, can I? It’s a very tricky business, this writing malarkey.
Oh and I think I may be hormonal. Am planning to adopt an ‘every silver lining has a cloud’ mentality today. Not a good day to have my yearly appraisal at work. Should there be a lack of posts hereafter, you can assume that I have been arrested for running amok and stapling my boss to my desk.
Now there’s a thought.
