…where everything is due, everyone wants something from me and my TO DO list is unforgiving, and all I want to do is listen to my iPod and stress eat a large bag of movie theater popcorn. With extra cancer-causing butter flavoring. I know that eventually I will relinquish my need to control everything around me and just give in to the limitations time and my mind and body have set, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to be superwoman. I will push on.
I suppose I just wanted to share that little tidbit because this is the writer’s life, especially that of a writer who also maintains a full-time job and is a single parent of limited means. Days like this happen often. It’s how I react to this stress that will help me sink or swim.
Also, if you’re free (and smart enough to stop by) on Sunday for my talk at the Church of Monika, it’s stuff like the aforementioned stress reactions and adaptations that I will be discussing.
Whoever said “Pimpin’ ain’t easy” clearly never tried to be a working writer.
