Working Indications
Posted Mon, 05/15/06
This is an indication of a good day and/or night of writing for me:
-
Coffee in the mug goes cold as I work;
-
Cigarettes burn in my crystal ashtray un-smoked (a good thing);
-
When nature calls, I wait until the last possible minute before I hop to the loo with my legs crossed;
-
Dishes in the sink go unwashed and beds remain unmade;
-
Ringing telephones go unanswered;
-
Knocks on the front door are ignored despite the cacophony of two dogs barking frantically;
-
Only dogs standing in the doorway whining and barking break me from my reverie at dinnertime;
-
Wilbert's conversations are one-sided and his questions go unanswered, or are met with an utterance of "Eh?"
Yet these are blissful days of progress, where I feel I have accomplished something worthwhile. Wilbert is used to me by now, as are the dogs, so I've decided if it works don't fix it.
