Inspiration intercepted by God punching me in the stomach

I woke up yesterday with a fire in my fingers. I got out of bed with this craving to write and write until my hands were semi-disfigured. You never want to go all the way when it comes to disfigurement. That's serious shit.

It was a lot of writing that I was willing to do right then, which is surprisingly helpful considering that I've been working on a novel for the last six months and have had little inspiration. I think that I could have finished the entire book yesterday if my stomach wasn't attacked by what felt like millions of flesh eating parasites. It was painful and even though it lasted for only a few hours, I was out of commission all day in the creativity department. Thus, no blog post was written and no progress was done on the book. I did discover, however, something worth while about my relationship with my parents.

"Need a bucket?" Mom called from the stairs.

"No. Not yet," I groaned.

"Not yet?! Girl, you'd better make it to the bathroom. You're not five anymore. Get it on the carpet, I kick your ass."

"Kick her ass? You'd be too busy gagging. I would be the one kicking her ass," Dad interjected upon hearing what Mom said.


I guess I'm too old for PARENTAL LOVE AND NURTURING!

  1. That is just awful.

    Well maybe you can remember what you did last night and repeat all the same steps and then be inspired again and this time minus the aches and pains .

    Maybe life is that simple.

  2. There was some hilarity behind what sounds like my Mother and Father being insensitive jerks. They said it in all good fun. They were laughing. I wanted to, but uh, I was afraid of, well, y'know...

  3. I think that we may possibly have the EXACT SAME PARENTS. They are insensitive in the most well meaning and hilarious ways...

  4. This morning I woke ready to tackle my new writing schedule and Get Stuff Done, only to discover that I slept like crap, I am irritable as hell, and I most likely have an ear infection.

    For some reason our motivation is being tested. I'll get well if you get well, then we will kick some ass ourselves, deal?

  6. Sickness is going around the internets. I know like a gabillion bloggers that have been some sort of sick within the last week.

    Protect your screens people! Bloggers are apparently germy bastards. :)
