Dec. 2nd, 2009 11:49 amI am supposed to be reading a novel and writing things right now, but the novel is too damn depressing and I can't get the writing done I need to get done and read it, so I'm taking a small brain break.
My deadlines are starting to press in on me now. I had a bit of breathing space, but it's gone. Now I have to play catch up in a serious way if I'm not going to see it all scattered around me like broken glass. I can do it -- I know I can do it -- but I also chose a path that will make it harder, as I volunteered to have my kids with me this coming weekend -- which given the work I have to do was likely not the best choice. Still -- it's necessary. They need me.
Another hour and I'll have the novel done. Another hour after that and I should be able to have a writing assignment mostly done. Another hour after that and I think I can have the latest revision of my statement of purpose started. And then tonight, perhaps, I can get other things done and out of the way. We'll see.
