I should be writing

Lately, whatever I do, I am thinking, "I should be writing."

• In the shower
• Shopping for food
• Going to the movies with great friends
• Watching television
• Taking a walk in the park
• Brushing Ada
• Sitting on the chair, closing my eyes, and listening to my son playing the piano
• Cooking
• E-mailing friends
• Grading papers
• E-mailing students
• Sleeping
• Dreaming
• Waking
• Speaking on the phone
• Drinking coffee
• Playing Scrabble at Pixie Pit or Scrabulous or even on a real board with my son
• Driving
• Listening to music
• Blogging
• Teaching
• Meeting
• Singing
• Cleaning the house
• Doing the laundry
• Watering plants
• Reading the NY Times
• Checking out Facebook friends
• Sitting and staring at the oak tree
• Eating pie: pumpkin, cherry or lemon meringue
• Having brunch with great friends

The only time I do not think, "I should be writing"

... is ...

... when I am writing.

Tee hee! I'm so glad you have a balanced and satisfying life, Tamar. Missing you here, but willing you to get it done!
