One down, two to go
Posted on | February 24, 2007 |
This is what my desk looks like right now.
I’m submitting a series of three essays. One is finished, and damn good, I think. Two to go, with a bunch of raw material to work from. Harder topics though.
I’ve been sitting nearly all day, playing chicken with words. When I couldn’t stand any more hunching at the computer with the cat on my shoulders (that’s where he’s taken to lounging. I’ll get a pic one of these days) I put on a jacket and went out into the freezing cold. The wind chill was brutal, but the sky was blue and it felt good to be out with my camera, feeling my lungs work and my boots crunch over frozen snow.
Now back to the second essay with some dark orange infused chocolate and perhaps some chai.

I completely understand what you’re experiencing. This weekend I’m working on the final version of my Masters thesis before submitting it to my supervisor on Wednesday. Then, the defence. My desk looks exactly like your photo. Keep plugging away- it’s all worth it.

The good thing about writing under pressure is it’s a great excuse to eat whatever you want! Because you are sure that your favorite snack will inspire you, comfort you, give you brilliant ideas like never before.
May all the writing angels be with you!
