I’ve been longing for some time just to write.
Alone.
In the house.
By myself.
After a thorough cleaning, walking the dogs, cleaning up the house….my desk was ready for me to write at!!
Then…
I had to straighten the couch, water outdoor plants, and clear off my desk before I could start.
I’m so happy we changed the orientation of our office so my desk can look over the garden!
Ha ha, I can totally relate! At least you did productive tasks while you were procrastinating on writing. If I’m not careful, I’ll get sucked into a book instead — or worse, into some endless web surfing. For instance, obviously I need to thoroughly research the debate about whether or not people actually used loose rushes on the floors in Medieval castles or if they were really using woven rush mats!

Ah! Great question!!! I was thinking about you when I found the elusive book of Medieval maps while at the thrift store — didn’t see any books on home care this time, but I read most of a couple of library books about it. Did I send you my reading list? I don’t think I posted it online 🤔 Hmmmmm…. lmk!

No, I don’t think you ever sent a list like that to me, and it sounds very interesting! (As though I need to add more to my “to read” list, hahahaha!) The rushes thing really is a surprisingly debated thing, and I’m still not sure which side has the most evidence. I’m just glad I’m writing an alternate fantasy world and not historical fiction, so that I can just choose one and say that it’s so.

I love you are going to such lengths to research it! Bookstacks abound at my house too — never enough time to read 📚🖤✔️

I’m surprised that you weren’t too tired to write after doing all that.
As for me, I’m moving right along with my writing, now that I have solved the case of the belly-up laptop.

Lol! I was charged by the clean space, and I’ve been writing for hours daily since. Who knew a clean desk could make all the difference!

Maybe it helps with the Feng Shui.
