So it isn't just me who does this when I try to write? Well, that's some consolation! *LOL*
This explains that feeling of being watched when I'm writing. ;)
Thanks for the chuckle.
The same phenomenon occurs when someone who writes for the "legitimate press" gets his/her hands on a laptop, or a Selectric, or a pencil stub. Relativity Theory notwithstanding, there may actually be universal truths afoot, at least among writers.
...in my study?
though I don't write on a laptop
I laughed so hard I barely had the time to whine about it not being smutty.
I find that now that I am retired and have time to write: I'm too busy! (This must be another law of nature. I had more disposable time when I was doing those sixty hour weeks year-in, year-out making sure that there were computers there for the laptops to connect to.)
Funny with just a hint of spousal hard edge in it.
Great job!
Selena:
But in my case it's daydreaming. I'll be typing at my best speed (sometimes referred to as a herd of turtles in a greasy butter vat), when I'll pause to read whatever I've entered into the word processor. Ten minutes later I'll realize I've been day dreaming AGAIN. Dynamite Jack hit the nail on the head. To all of you authors who imagine how much better it'll be when you retire; it ain't going to happen. When you worked however many hours a week you were able to write. Now that you're retired there aren't enough hours in the day to write. This was funny and it was great. Thank You. Ronnie W.

Have a lovely day,

PS... this reminded me of the story that I wrote called "Feedback"... the woes of trying to write when its just not going to happen.
Thats me at a coffee shop with pen, pad and laptop along with whatever is in my music player (not ipod) before I know it half the day is gone and ive got 5 or 6 grande coffees of various flavours around me along with sandwich containers and muffin or cupcake wrappers. Normally realise where I am and what im doing after a particularly pale, skinny guy with the requisite black jeans, stripey shirt of black/white/red, hair of same or more outlandish colour combination and piercings has caught my attention. I shake my head and the real world crashes back in. I raise my hand to order another grande coffee ad maybe this time a banana chocolate muffin....
And too true! Loved this. I needed a laugh this morning you delivered. Thanks!
I think you must have a camera hidden over my head!
Good one. I found this story after reading the Husband's Version by Night Scribe. Both are great and complement one another.
