Too Long from Writing
I've been working away from the house on a temp job and it has seriously taken me from my writing. Want to talk about torture!
Now, the job itself is not torture. I'm planting trees around the county. It is a very dirty job. That's for sure. A shower doesn't always find the dirt in the ears or up the nose. Really dirty, but it is rewarding. Though I don't have the time to write like I want.
Some days I pray for rain just so I can write. lol Other days I want to work so we can get it all done. Very torn at times as you can tell.
This is my last week of doing it. We are planting the last batch today and then will begin laying the fabric down on certain locations. A few ranchers purchased 1400-1700 trees. The one took us all day. Surprised?
I have managed to get a couple chapters of The Men's Preservation Society drafted out along with a few chapters of Trust Me. I have to. My muses threaten me quite regularly. :) But I love it.

Writing Withdrawal
For a writer, having writing writing withdrawal can be devastating. It can ruin your personal life, professional life, and have you on the verge of being rushed to the emergency room.
Exaggerations? Barely.
My personal life is falling apart. Why? I haven't had time to write. The result is grouchiness, depression, and daydreaming of the next scene that never seems to get written. It's horrible. My family is begging me to lock myself away. I think they want me to write. Maybe they just wanted me locked away.
My professional life is both rejoicing and wailing at my withdrawals. I am getting writing done for other sites and working on Silver Tongue Press stuff, but I'm not getting any headway on my books. A win/lose situation.
I need to write! I need to get more of The Men's Preservation Society Done. I need to edit Trust Me. I need to work on the final revisions of Deep Connections. I need to write!
Now, how is your day? :)
