Quick "Get back to Work" reminder
The other day I opened my fortune cookie, gobbled it down (because we all know that the fortune will not come true if you don't eat the cookie first) then read my fortune. I think my cookie was trying to tell me something.
I had been working on editing, then slowly found myself scrolling Facebook more. Clicking StumbleUpon's button. Zoning out into nothingness. Oh, shiney things, why do I love you so?
Then here comes my cookie, with its oh-so-wise words. I instantly dove back in (after shooting a photo of it first, of course! How could I not?) and as I write this during my mental break, I am only two chapters away from finishing this round of editing! The paper edit looms in the near future, and I am excited.
What recent "slap on the wrist" reminders to get back to work and WRITE have you had?
Now is a good time to finish up old tasks... with your novel!

Thank you for the reminder. :)
I see you're reading Blindness. Isn't it an interesting story? I found the beginning a bit hard to get into, probably because I was so conscious of the fact that the English copy is translated from Portuguese. It really picks up in the middle, though. Hope you're enjoying it!
I haven't found a good solution to that.
Well, wait. I have playlists for all my projects, if I listen to the playlist long enough, I'll get back in the mood.
I think we're all to eager to play the "in bed" game with our fortunes.
