Yep. I was having serious issues with her and getting yelled at from all sides because I was really trying to keep her on ignore. However, I am a bit lost in my WIP. I need to reacquaint myself with the story. Which means I have to go back and read through it. This usually is where I get into trouble.
I figured…no biggie. Just pop that puppy on the eReader and get to it. No keyboard=no editing right? Wrong. First thing my little editor starts doing is screaming at me to fix a blaring hole in my scene where I had accidentally hit delete. I listened. Then thought… WTF am I doing?!
This is only going to lead to more frustration and procrastination on my end. Must be strong. Resist the temptation. I feel like a drug addict suffering withdrawals. It is hard not to run to the keyboard each and every time I see a little blip or the internal editor starts screaming at me.
This is a battle royale to see if I can manage to overcome my wench of an internal editor. Maybe I can lock her up. I doubt it though. I am going to try to reign in this compulsion, but if you should find me curled up in the fetal position, cradling my laptop and muttering “My precious”… you know what happened.
Sláinte!
You can totally kick that bitch’s ass. It’s your story, isn’t it?
