so, i'm at work. well, i'm at my desk, my computer is plugged in and turned on... i am sitting comfortably, if a little sleepily (i should be drinking coffee.) i've turned on my word processor...
and nothing. but the funny thing is, if i can write here, why can't i write there?
so for the past hour i've been procrastinating. at some point i know i have to just staple my ass down and write something, just one word after another as it starts... and then i have class at two thirty. i am so not looking forward to that.
so i've been surfing the blogosphere. i open up my blog and hit the "next blog" link at the top of the page. i try to leave comments on most people's blogs, here are few that i liked:
1. a novelist whose most recent post commented on a study conducted by her university that concluded that men don't notice women in high heels. a man commented on this, saying that if you notice a woman for what she's wearing and not for who she is, that's "just wrong." i commented, "that's funny. heels are totally sexy."
2. another novelist who posted a "frequently asked questions" thing. on it were questions like "i want to write a new york times best seller, any advice?" and her advice was, "change your goal."
3. i'll keep this last one to myself, but it was really, really funny. i suggest you read the first chapter of the unabridged version of Gulliver's Travels and notice the repetition of Gulliver's master's name. it wasn't about that, but that was also funny.
i guess it would have been helpful if i had posted links, huh? oh well.
so that's what i've been doing instead of working. i think i'll get to work now.
