Love the stepdad story.
For me the internet is way more stimulating and "hooking" than a background TV...because I engage with it. Only write here, but with a couple mags/blogs, I'm deep into all the comments as well as the articles. What I need to do is WRITE with the same amount of time/dedication that I READ.

I do like the stepper thing Boat...at work, just hopping on for those 20 steps every hour feels amazing. Like I'm refusing to let them "get me."

Yucky stuff going on with Nboss who has a new acolyte, the new office manager sucks up to him like mad and I'm having to repress an instinctive dislike for her. Getting busy with my own work is the best alternative.

Monday. Ugh.

Have a decent day everybody

Yeah Bosses :(    Do you write for your job Hops?

Writing seems to happen on it's own, for me it's when I have the time on my hands.

I write constantly at work, Boat.
Always have, in my "career" (pin-ball series of jobs, I mean).

My MA is in creative writing, and I have published poetry.
I have one chapter of a novel glowing (ever more faintly) in a desk drawer.
A memoir I'd like to do.
And need to submit a new collection of poems.

All of THAT, I neglect. Daily writing, here, and at work...
sort of scratches the itch.

But not really. That's what my time and life management struggles
are all about. I know I was put on earth to write, and not about
the work stuff that eats most of that writing energy.

love
