Welcome to the Why I’m Not Writing This Week series!
If you’re not familiar with this series, just know that the only thing writers love more than writing is avoiding writing. And I am definitely no exception. Every Friday, I list five things that distracted me from my writing this week.
I encourage you to share with me your reasons for not writing every week too and I’ll share my favorites in the latest edition.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy V-Day! Whether you are celebrating with a loved one, spending the night with your friends, or just relishing in your time alone,I hope you have a great day. Filled with love and self-care.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The new season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered last week. The first few episodes have been dramatic and, of course, hilarious. The new season seems to be full of conflict and intrigue already, so I can’t wait to see where it goes! If you like crime-solving shows, Parks and Recs-esque comedy and long-running jokes, try out Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Bonfire
This weekend, my husband and I went to a bonfire at our friend’s property. They burned some dead tree limbs from recent storms and some old Christmas trees. It was a beautiful and relaxing night.
Maintenance Mania
Yesterday, my friend from work competed in a local maintenance competition. He had to show his proficiency and speed on a variety of tasks and race a homemade car from items in his shop. He did a great job, won multiple awards and finished in 3rd place overall. Congratulations Cisco!!!
Robot Vacuum
I recently bought a robotic vacuum to help us keep up with the large amount of animal hair and other animal related debris (like cat litter) that builds up around the house. We really thought it would have been a time saver, but it’s honestly so much fun to watch spin around the room, that I may have wasted more time with it than I saved.
