So last night instead of coming home early and pre-writing today's SSS, I ate a ton of pirogi and drank a lot of scotch at my dad's house. Now I find myself neck-deep in work and unable to crank out an entry.
Previously, I posted that this was a big fail on my part, and that I would make it up to everyone later this week.
Well, I've changed my mind because as I sit at my desk going about my work, I feel a little bit refreshed and a little bit invigorated after going ahead and saying I wasn't going to post. I'm starting to hit a groove and not feel so crappy despite having too much scotch and not enough sleep, and I think I could offer one little piece of advice to new writers today:
Know when to say when, know when you're just forcing it, and know when to blow off and go do something else.
As Billy Crystal said in Throw Mama from the Train, "A writer writes, always." True enough - but a writer is not a perpetual motion machine. A writer needs to rest. A writer needs to eat and drink, and take a day off.
So begins something like a day off - see you on Wednesday!
