It's more than deadline brain. My beloved cat, Daq, goes for a tumor (bladder) biopsy Wednesday.
Daq is "Tank the furzel" in my GAMES OF COMMAND. He and his little buddy, 
Miss Doozy, are my constant companions, but where Doozy is stand-offish, Daq is on my desk, at my feet, by my side, 24/7. I can't imagine how parents cope when their children face a diagnosis of cancer. The past few days have been, quite honestly, horrible. And since it will take over a week for the pathology report to come back in, it appears as if horrible may hang around for a bit yet.
Yes, I'm still writing the book on deadline but it's really not much more than throwing words on the screen. I just keep plowing through it and hope by the time edits happen, things will be better.
So that's the scoop. Daq-cat is in for a rough haul the next few weeks and my primary focus is to be by his side as he's been by mine. Which means the creative muse has taken a hike. Perky author has run out of perky.
But prayers are good. Hugs all, ~Linnea & Daq & Miss Doozy

That's what I said somewhere in these writing craft posts -- the professional sags, drags, melts down, but keeps making words.
ReplyDeleteThat's what an OUTLINE is for -- when (not if) "life" happens and you can't think, then any words you make with dead-brain will be easily fixable because you aren't introducing digressions from the outline.
You know what has to happen in a given chapter. Later, you can craft the words. Just keep plugging.

((((Linnea & Daq-cat)))). Keeping you and your Mom in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear this. Having a cat with cancer is pretty rough.
ReplyDeleteI hope you caught it in time for treatments to work well, and not be too hard on him. {Smile}
