DAY 203: BRAIN DRAIN

A day of work.  A cluttered mind.  TV on.  Bowl of cereal for dinner.  A somewhat typical Wednesday.  And it all starts again tomorrow.  

I simply want to put a "Closed for Business" sign on the blog today, succumb to my writer's block, and tell myself I will try again tomorrow. But if I leave for tomorrow what I need to accomplish today, the rest of the year will fly by and meeting my goal of writing a book in a year just won't happen.

But hey, I am an American.  Isn't exhaustion inherently a part of the working class experience?  And, in all honesty, it should act as the motivator for more aggressive action on my book.  My book, which is obviously guaranteed to be a bestseller, and free me from the shop girl grind.  Not that I am putting all my eggs in one basket or anything.  

That being said, it is 3:15AM, I am on my second round of watching the same programs on HGTV, and all of my artistic inspiration may be buried under hours of repeated commercials for TBS programs.  As a writer I have abandoned my craft for the boob tube.  So with another day down and 162 days to go, I am signing off.

I remain truly yours, Milagros
