Can writers decorate?

How many writers does it take to decorate a house for Christmas?

Forget the decorations, let me tell you about my book.

It's much more interesting than decorating, since I see all the dust bunnies I've allowed to propagate in my living room. I keep stopping to clean, which I hate to do but get guilted into it, and leave the hubs stranded on a ladder, waiting for me to hand him the garland.

You see, while I was dusting the top of the windows, my protagonist whispered a great idea for a scene. Naturally, I had to jot down a couple of notes. So I ran to my computer to make said notes when I noticed a lot of email had arrived.

Not wanting to miss that all-important message my agent may have sent, I open mail and check a few out.  I see my crit partner Genghis Griep (okay, her real name is Michelle, but when she crits ...) has a new post up on her blog, Writer Off the Leash, and I have to check it out.

Then I realized I needed to post on my blog and ...

"Ane!!!"

Oops, I left the hubs on the ladder. See y'all later!

LOL, I discovered my forgotten dust bunnies on the antique chest I put the tree on. Cough. Cough. I have a good excuse...read debut book releasing, book launch party, editing a different book on deadline, and Thanksgiving. The dust hasn't gone anywhere. Could that be why Ed was sneezing when he was here?

Thanks Julie. And Lynn, things are looking better now than my staging area on the dining room table. LOL

I don't know if my tree will get up this afternoon or not with the dog and trips back to pick him up.

I've been called many things in my day, but never Genghis Griep. Has a nice ring to it. Think I'll keep it. Thanks, Anie girl!
