I thought I'd better post so people dropping by my blog for the first time won't know immediately that all I do is complain. Unfortunately, all I can think of to blog about is how someone stole my sandwich out of the fridge at work today and I ended up getting a burrito at (urp) Taco Bell instead, dammit.
Ah, yes, I know. I'll mention casually that despite my having worked 20+ hours in the last two days, I have somehow managed to write about 1,000 words of a new short story. I was going to write a tiny short little flash story, but I couldn't come up with a tiny short little idea. Unfortunately, as usual the short story idea I had is trying very hard to turn into a book idea. I am resisting this impulse.

Okay, sorry about the Taco Bell. I haven't eaten there since the last millenia.
Wish we could trade "problems". All my ideas want to be too short for a respectable novel.
I'd swap in a minute! Except that then I'd regret it, because I do like writing novels.
Ah, the silver lining. Sorry about Taco Smell, though.
I'm thinking not having a Taco Bell here is a good thing.
Be thankful ideas are still presenting. Many seem to be museless at the moment.
I'm with Aaron - trade you for the ideas that are too long problem.
Take two sandwiches into work today and cover one in salt. :D
Cate's an evil woman (I really like her idea).
Alan--the worst part is, I don't know if I should bring my lunch today or just plan to eat out.
BT--I have only the one idea right now that I'm working on. Other than that, my brain is empty.
Cate--OMG, salt! That's an excellent idea. Actually, I'm half-convinced that our Fridge Nazi decided my sandwich was old and pitched it, so salt wouldn't help if that's the case.
Alan--isn't she, though? I think a turkey-and-mustard-and-SALT sandwich might just put someone off my lunch for years.
I'm with you. I can't keep a short story a short story to save my life.
Sorry about your lunch (blech). good luck with the writing.
It looks as though it has been a bad week for most of us writers as far a word counts go. You are the third blog I've dropped by who has said they haven't got much writing done this week.
I hope you have better luck over the weekend as the muses drop by to help you out.
Jeremy--I was hoping to finish that story today but it just keeps getting longer and longer.
Jamie--Thanks, hopefully Taco Bell will not figure in my life again anytime soon.
Jarmara--I figure I'm doing good just getting any words at all, this week.
got blogs confused (points up above). too many open haha.
kc your work ethnic is going to make me look bad! but good for you! :^)
Well, I didn't write a word today (yet), so you're probably doing better than me today. :)
