Sunday Evening Reflections: Never Would've Made It

Dear Diary,
I've seriously got a case of ADD. It's 10:35pm and I haven't wrote not one iota of something worthwhile in the newest novel. Instead I got caught up in updating the background photo on my twitter page which took crazy amounts of time. Just sad! And I tell you, no one is more disappointed in me than me. So where does an ADD-having-ice-cream-all-day-eating-tweeting-addict writer such as myself go for rejuvenation? Well, up under hubby's arm, of course, crying the "blank page staring back at me" blues, while feeding him questions like: You think I'm a good writer, right? How come I can't focus? Why can't I think of anything good to write? Shame on technology for putting me in a trance! What's for dinner? Etc, etc, etc. My hubby answers my usual run of the mill questions with words of encouragement, much love, support and turn the damn computer off. He soothes my crybaby writing antics and sends me happily back upstairs to waste more time on twitter. That man gets me. He understands my crazy tendencies and passions so much that he doesn't kick me too hard in the butt for getting off track. And I need that. My men are my support system and when strong and resilient is no longer the motto, all of them are right there with six shoulders for me to lean on. It's like hubby loves my heart back together, my boys reaffirm why I keep on keeping on, and the Lord above is always there to carry me through my mess. Without all of them, I know I wouldn't be able to make it thru!

Sincerly,
Soulfull

**sigh** Beautiful post.

About the writing, tho: I think all writers have ADD. Seriously. I think that we get our energy and focus in bursts & flashes! Just keep at it.

I'm with you on the Twitter addiction. I have to learn to manage my online life. Between Twitter, Blogger, Live Journal, Facebook... Girl. I just can't keep up sometimes.
