When I am seriously thinking about putting my fingers to the keyboard..<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong>m I going to be here a long time? Maybe, I need to collect a snack. I guess I should have something to drink with that snack. Oh, I guess I should go pee before I settle in. <\/em>(Yes, your Chatroom Moderator goes pee.) Okay, where did I save the file I was going to use. Wow, there sure are a lot of usb sticks, maybe I should see what is on each of them. Why do I have so many of them? You know, now that I am thinking about it, didn’t I put my project notes in one of my College Ruled Notebooks. Four of them, why do I need four. Well at least the covers are different colors. You know, I should keep out the red one and title it Writing Hot. Good Idea, let me write that down. Is that a deer outside my window? I definitely need to capture an image and put it up on Facebook. Facebook, hmmm, I should check the Writer’s Chatroom Group to see if there are any new messages there. Kim Richards posted recently and Mel posts like clockwork on Tuesdays. I imagine both of them could spot the difference between planning and procrastination in a heartbeat. I hope they make it to chat, tomorrow, they can help me through the topic. What was I doing? Oh, right. Writing. Writing something serious, like my most recent contact with a dead person and why it took me fourteen months to make the connection. Sigh. You know, I should really be working on the Chatroom Newsletter and a blogpost.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
