The writer equivalent of the dog eating my homework
I was a bit under the weather yesterday and missed posting. And today was a blur of tasks. That sounds like the beginning of a string of excuses not to write. That's bad. Isn't it? Do you allow yourself excuses not to write? Do they have to be really big things like deaths in the family or can they be little things like an uncomfortable sunburn? My reasons were between those two extremes. But I know how easy it can be to let one day turrn into another with no work at words. It's a slippery slope. We may not hit our regular stride of a word count on off days, but we owe it to ourselves to try not to let our reasons for not writing become too frequent or too trite.
