I got up early this morning to work on the book. Wednesday is the day I only have about 45 minutes at home between 9:00 am and 3:15 pm so I figure it would be good to try and write. Of course, I'm in such a funk all I can do is stare at chapter four so I figured I'd blog instead. So much for discipline. Hard to believe a week ago I stayed home from skiing and wrote a ton of pages! Maybe what I need to do is move to the mountains! Nah, I just need to keep at it.
No matter how much I might complain, I love writing. I couldn't imagine not writing. And this does happen every book, though never this extreme, this early. That's probably the problem. I'm not ready for such frustration or tears or insert-negative-feelings-here until it's closer to deadline time.
Hubby brought me home a Hershey's bar with Almonds last night. That helped. I also jumped ahead to the last chapter and filled in a little on the heroine's dark moment since I was in that weepy, angsty kind of mood. But now, I'm going back to Chapter 4 and make it work! Let's hope by the end of hump day, I'm moving onto Chapter 5!
Here's one of the songs I used for the book soundtrack of Marriage for Baby that I listened to last night. It made me feel better. Are there songs that make you feel better?

Sing by The Carpenters. It makes you want to sing out loud and forget your worries.
I'm caught up on your blog. A lot has happened and I can't wait to see the dress you're wearing to the Titanic Dinner. Kewl that Rose skied. I know you must have been so proud of her.
I uploaded my pictures and trying to see which ones I should post on my blog.
I can't think of any one sound I like to listen to to lift my mood. I'll have to think on that!
Sorry you're still having a bit of a writing problem, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon! Tell hubby you just need more chocolate. *g*
I remember that SING song!
I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures, Dru! I talked to another woman going to the Titanic dinner. They rented costumes. I thought about doing that, but I'd rather have a dress I can take with me to RWA conference in July even if it's a modern version of 1912 fashion! But I can't wait to see what they are going to wear. Still debating on what shoes to wear. I may need to watch Titanic and check out Rose's shoes.
Thanks Brandy. Hubby did buy me more chocolate, but didn't tell me. It's been in the pantry all day, but I didn't have a clue until he called! I'll have some after dinner. Right now I'm just waiting for him to get home so I can start writing!
