Victor stated directly to me yesterday: "You should start writing today."
I looked at him and said: "I have been thinking about that very thing..." Then all the ideas in my head fluttered away like butterflies being chased by a three year old... :(
I logged onto my computer. Read and responded to e-mails (deleted many because they were just junk). I checked my bank account and sighed. I logged onto Facebook and played Castleville and then Bejeweled and then Slingo and then Bingo...
I then remembered that I wanted to check out some movie trailers. I watched the trailers for SnowWhite and the Huntsman; Breaking Dawn Part 2; and MIB.
I was curious about new releases on Netflix and then spent an embarrasing long time rating movies (about 300)... :(
I took a nap.
Some time during all of this I pulled the slow cooker out and put all the ingredients into it for a beef stew - YUM!
Before I knew it Allisa was coming through the front door and Aislyn would be home shortly after.
When Aislyn got home I took her to her appointment. Sat and waited for an hour reading a magazine...
When we were getting ready to leave Aislyn insisted that we stop at Topper's Pizza so that she could get a large salad from the salad bar. So we did, after we stopped at CHEVRON so that I could get a voltage mountain dew and Aislyn a Dr Pepper.
We get home, the stew is done, Victor and Evan are home...
Victor first asks: "Where's the pizza? You went to Topper's, where's the pizza?"
Rebecca: "I made stew. Stew is for dinner."
Victor: "You and Aislyn have salad from Topper's so I should have pizza."
Rebecca: "You are having stew."
Victor leaves for the gym.
The kids feed the animals, eat dinner and clean the kitchen.
At 6:30 I take Evan and Aislyn to the church for Scripture Mastery.
I come home and log back onto my computer and begin playing a game.
Victor: "What did you write today?"
Rebecca: *silence*
This morning our friend John comes over to go to work with Victor.
John: "So, I hear you are writing. That's great! Maybe your books will get published and you will become a millionaire."
Rebecca: *silence with a smile*
So, what have a done so far? Well, I found all my beginnings of manuscripts and saved them to my lap top in a folder called manuscripts. And then I wrote this blog.
So when Victor asks me today what I wrote I can tell him that I practice writing... hopefully... :)

Ha ha ha! :D
Hmmm. Looks like you have quite a repetoire of avoidance techniques... or writer's block. You might try beginning your writing day with a prayer. :)
