“You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be
in the right mood.”
‘What mood is that? ‘
“Last-minute panic.”
~ Bill Watterson
In December, I am continuing (barely) to participate in the
Two Pages-a-Day writing challenge. And
trying desperately to get in a holiday mood.

here’s a dragon in
town tonight (well, since midnight actually), but since I hate crowds, I’m
going to spend the evening comfortably lost between the covers – of a book.
Or three.
I should be writing.
I should be baking.
I should be cleaning.
I should be working on
a Christmas project.
Should. Should Should.
Pffftp.
Discipline is necessary
in life. You won’t get far without
it. But sometimes, discipline is highly overrated. And tonight, I’m going to embrace my
procrastinating nature and not feel guilty.
I am a procrastinating
woman. Hear me…snore!?
Wait, I don’t snore.
Reading
Tell Me Lies –
Jennifer Crusie (because she usually writes with a funny and sassy voice)
What’s Left of Me –
Amanda Maxlyn (because someone on FB said they cried when they read it and the female
lead character Tell Me Lies is making roll my eyes and tear out my hair – grow a
back bone woman! Also, I like tear
jerker romances)
Ashes to Ashes –
Karina Halle (because I was jonesing for another heavy Dex and Perry adventure
complete with ghosts, dead children, and crazy monkey – well, you know)

In my journal. Okay, I
know I said earlier that I would be procrastinating and not writing, but honestly, that never happens. I’m always writing something.
Eating
Dinner. Usually I don’t have time to eat dinner on a
weeknight. I arrive home from work
really late and aside from it being unhealthy to eat after 8pm, I’m too tired
and have no appetite. Tonight I’ll get
home a little earlier.
I may even bake some
gingerbread.
Making
A list. What? I like to make lists. I almost never follow them…but I like
planning. And Santa will be here
soon. I need to tell him what I want! Letters, lots of letters…
Listening
To Christmas
music. See note above. Christmas music helps.
Let go and live a little. Forget the laundry. Forget the dishes. Kick back and relax. It really is ok.
They'll still be there tomorrow.
Oremus pro invicem,

What are
you putting off tonight? And what are
you putting on instead? ;-)
