I'm such a slacker

[sinanju]

I haven't written a damn word today. Haven't done much of anything, really. My lovely and talented wife has been very good about reminding me that I'm still sick. Which helps. I did manage to write a considerable number of words all this previous week despite being sick, but today I am teh slacker grande.

I slept til the crack of 11:30 this morning, then got up, showered, drove to the bakery and bought sandwiches for the three of us for lunch. Then I came home and, when I wasn't napping--which I did--I alternated between sitting at my PC netsurfing or sitting on the sofa watching television and reading. Oh, and I took cough medicine every few hours. It was decadently lazy.

And it was rather nice to give myself permission today not to worry about writing. I wasn't entirely successful, mind you. I still thought about it some. But I didn't worry--too much--about not actually doing any. Nonetheless, I got two good ideas while showering this morning; one for a story opening I'd been groping around for, and the other was some good background info for my zombie revenant Western.
