I feel like I have to blog each morning about how I didn't get anything done the day before. At least I'm writing something...
Yesterday was for making money: went into the office and edited/wrote for most of the day, then brought a project home with me and proofread that last night. I'm a contract worker, so I feel a lot of pressure to be actually working for the hours I bill (so different from being an employee, where I only felt pressure to be in the office for 8 hours, nevermind what I did with them). I think part of it is that I want to take the least amount of time away from writing (or thinking about writing, or preparing to think about writing). And I'm make more per hour than I've ever done before, which allows me to work 15-20 hours per week and continue to live comfortably at the grad-student subsistence-level to which I've grown accustomed. Still, I know I'm sending in my invoice tomorrow, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible for that billing cycle.
Maybe tonight will be for making art. Isn't there a house reading this evening?
