Writer’s blah

Sunday, February 26, 2006, 12:17 am

I feel like I’m trying to jam a large, furry mammal through the skinny end of a funnel. My preparation time is down to roughly 3.5 days.

I’m just sort of tired and frustrated, gripped by a paralyzing inability to concentrate. I’m doing pretty well with emails, but several other mission-critical jobs remain unfinished. Most involve writing, and I think my muse must be out on sick leave. There’s also the nightmare called packing.

Meanwhile, additional problems have surfaced. For example, what would happen if one’s driver’s license were to expire while he was out of the country? Just hypothetically, of course. So … what’s the number for the DMV?

Keep it up Bolt! You know, sometimes when I don’t feel like doing anything, or I feel like I’m not doing enough of something despite trying, it helps to imagine that this crowd of people is following me around all day, cheering everything I do. Sure, they’re imaginary, but unlike the real friends, they’re always there!

There, aren’t I an encouragement? :D

“Josh” has also enjoys long walks on the beach and delights in jamming large, furry animals into untimely ends.

And Bolt, someone wise once told me that “It’ll get done. It always does.” : )
