Maybe Later

I know, I know. I promised I'd write a post about procrastination today. But, well … I really ought to shower. And check my Facebook. And doodle in a notebook, and read the archives of a gazillion blogs, and name all [character's name omitted] and [character's name omitted]'s children. (They're going to have eight. And only the two who are actually ALIVE in the SERIES are named. Poor dears.) After that, I don't really know what I'll do. But I'm sure there will be something, and I'm not going to get around to writing that post today.

Maybe tomorrow. Or next year. I don't know.

It's not my fault! Mom hasn't personally made me cookies that taste good yet. Until she's fulfilled her bargain, I really can't be productive. (She keeps making excuses, like 'I have to clean the house'. Seriously. Like she wants to clean the house.)

Now I'm going to go eat breakfast. Healthy breakfast, with no sugar and … ooh. Is that pie I smell? Never mind.

Sarah Blogs (And The World Trembles)

So, I've decided to start a blog. There are numerous reasons. I'll just list the top three:

1. I love too many wonderful people. And too many wonderful people love me and are interested in what's going on in my life and my writing. I want to interact with everyone and keep you all up-to-date, but I simply don't have the time or brainpower to write that many emails, and someone always gets left out. This way, I can keep up with you all! And you don't have your inbox cluttered!

2. I need to keep better records. I wish I could tell you the number of times I've thought 'Oh, I wish I knew when I thought of that!' Unfortunately, I haven't recorded them, so I can't. And as portable as spiral-bound notebooks are, they are easily lost. Or destroyed. (Remind me to tell you about the time Megrat wrote all HER book notes over top of MY important cartoon.) A blog is more accessible, more stable, and, hopefully, more memorable than my scattered scribblings.

3. I obviously don't spend enough time on the Internet. I mean, I only check my Facebook … what? Every ten minutes? WHAT DO I DO WITH THE OTHER NINE MINUTES? Heaven forbid I actually spend that time WRITING? This must stop!

With those important reasons all on top of each other, I think it's safe to say this blog will be seeing a lot of me. Or a little of me, in which case I'll have stopped procrastinating and decided to get serious about editing Sarawen. Either way, you win, right?
