Bottom of the Ninth

Within a few days I will write the last words of a first draft.

Nothing else seems to matter. There's laundry and dishes everywhere. I hope the kids did their homework. I wish I could lock myself in my room with my computer and have someone bring me my meals. Not that I'm sure I would eat them.

When I have to stop, it feels like my mind is coming back from a long ways away. And it doesn't want to stay for long.

I'd love to come up with some snappy concluding sentence for this post, but I really must get back to work.

"THE END" OR BUST!

  5. Awesome, Rebecca. It's inconvenient, life, when you're in the zone.

    I do best when out at a coffee shop or library or somewhere I can't see the laundry and dishes. :)

  7. Thanks, everyone! I did finally fold the laundry last night. It gave my brain a chance to cool off a little.
