Turns out yesterday was Monday. I forgot. So, no Monday poetry. I’m in that stage of being so deep in a book that it’s hard to see out; my head is too full of this other reality. I tend to be mildly distracted that way as the norm, but in the Book Ate My Brain stage, it’s beyond distracted.
I actually like this stage, because I got into this gig to put my vivid imagination to work and I like to fully utilize it. I always got bored with my jobs because they didn’t require enough of my brain. Writing takes all of my brain, which can be really neat, but it does tend to cause Post Book Hangover, when it’s over and the characters move out and Elvis has left the building. Suddenly the intense experience of carrying around this alternate reality is just…gone.
Which is why there’s always another book to write. Anyway, happy Tuesday, world. I’d say more, but the book ate my brain.
Good luck with the book, Charli. And Happy Tuesday. 🙂
Thanks, NJ!
my bad!!!!! i’ve been so buried at work that i threw up my post, raced thru the train and that was pretty much it until thursday when i threw up my TT and raced off until tonight. I hate it when books eat brains by the way. so messy.
Rhian, I spaced everything but The Book this week! Will try to get Monday’s poem pre-posted over the weekend, which is what I normally do.
I think the inside of my head would be a lot messier without being full of book; all that space, inviting trouble! *g*
