Until That Three Book Deal….

Today was such a frustrating day.  I got so much work done on my pirate story yesterday, 9 pages and that is significant considering that I couldn’t start writing until the short people had gone to bed – and were really asleep, not faking – and that was after 9 o’clock.  So from 9:00 until 12:45 I knocked out 9 pages.  As it turns out, pirates are more fun than even I’d originally thought, and that’s saying something since I was pretty sure pirates were a lot of fun.  OK – that last sentence didn’t come out right.  Let me be perfectly clear – were talking 18th century, swashbuckling romantic buccaneers, not 19 year old Somali pirates of the 21 century.  That second group DOES NOT sound fun. 

Anyway, I had to go to bed before I got all the good stuff out of my head and on to paper,  and in the morning I had to go to work.  I still haven’t gotten back to the pirate and our damsel, but all day long I had trouble concentrating on my work because I was so involved with the stuff going on in my head.  Do the rest of you have this trouble?  All day long I yearned for my lap top and a coffee shop.  I must tell you, my office job doesn’t hold my attention nearly as well as pirate battles and love affairs.
