Weekend Blues

Now don't get me wrong, I love weekends, especially when I have a hiking trip planned out or something along those lines. I always try to promise myself that I won't work on weekends but that never works out. As a writer, when an idea plays with my mind on what should happen within the next chapter or even a few chapters down the road, I must sit down, fire up the HP and type it all out before my brain decided to replace it with some other important thought like what's for supper. Sundays, I really try to take the day off, mostly due to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on television. Now, I have discovered that I can follow what is happening in the race by logging onto Twitter and getting the inside scoop. This means that I have my laptop on my lap during the race. I'll give you three guesses what happens during cautions but you will only need one. Yes, the computer is on my lap so why not make use of that time during the yellow flag instead of watching commercials about bug spray? I open up my most recent file on the book I'm working on and begin typing away. Before I know it, the green flag has been flown for several laps and most likely the lead has changed in the race. I miss it almost every time. How do I avoid this? I don't know; I guess that's just the way it's going to be. Awe, the life of a writer.
