The Ugly Reality
It's time to face the fact, dear reader. There are just not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything on the Write Again Soon agenda.
While my family might scoff, the truth is that I'm working at least 12 hours a day on the Big Idea--and often 16-18 hours. Between trying to manage my main client (the contract runs through mid-December and I'm trying to convince them to extend it into 2007), writing 4-6 pieces (blog updates, press releases, celebrity gossip--did you see that Brit kicked K-Fed to the curb?!?) every week for another client, getting all the details finalized for my trip to China (leaving in 2 days, 7 hours, 2 minutes), meeting with PR colleague and potential partner--it all adds up to one tired madchen.
Add to that my trip today up to the old neighborhood to vote (I apparently forgot to change my voter registration to the new address), a date with yet another boy tomorrow night, and then making plans for post-China--and I'm basically treading water in a deep sea of despair. That's my excuse for only having 8,399 words (instead of the 11,666 I'm supposed to have by midnight) written in my brilliant, never-to-be-finished-at-least-not-at-this-rate NaNoWriMo novel. Que cera.
So that's my pity party for now. Feel free to share your own sad tales of NaDissFinMo, pretty-wasting, soggy cereal, and lack-of-follow-through woe.
And now, just in case you read this on Election Eve, let me point you to the CNN Blog Party. Because it's always fun to use the internet while watching television--and especially fun to know that all of those bloggers are at Tryst in Adams Morgan at this very moment!

You totally broke the K.Fed/Brit Story (for me anyway)! I am overjoyed. Who cares if the Dems don't take back the house, there will never be another K/B spawn!

Yes I also would like to vote in extra hours in the day--Maybe 3.5-4 extra hours per/day would be nice? Also, you did *not* break the K.Fed/Brit story for me :) But then, I also bested you on the Madonna adoption, back when you believed the stupid Washington Post over my quality British source :)
