So, yesterday was my day off after having worked a full week plus three overtime shifts. My plan was to come home Sunday morning after having worked my most recent overtime shift and take a shower and sleep for a few hours. Then, I wanted to spend the rest of the day working on my story.
I got my shower and my nap. Then, Cutie (the family dog) placed herself into the scene. Well, she had other plans. Every time I had what I thought was a good idea for my yarn and was about to write the scene, she would come up to the rocking chair and stare at me until I stopped what I was doing to pet her. She did this continually until I finally put my laptop away and gave her my undivided attention. Events like these are one of the reasons I would never be able to meet an editor’s deadline.
