Somehow in the course of my hectic days, I’ve managed to write 106 pages of my shitty first draft. It should be finished by now. Finished, polished, and shipped to my agent. However, I am working on the conference. I am attending Pennwriters meetings. I am teaching yoga classes. I am taking Mom to doctors’ and dentists’ appointments or to shop for groceries. Other small items on my to-do list: Organize the drawer full of receipts that has gotten way out of hand. Clean the house. Weed the flower bed. Pay bills. Instead, what do I find myself doing? Playing on Facebook. Just what I need. Yet another distraction. I already maintain a website (not really. I have a wonderful webmaster for that), a blog, a page at CrimeSpace. I contribute to the Working Stiffs blog and attempt to follow a few others. Keyword there: ATTEMPT. So when I was invited to join Facebook, I should have deleted the email and never looked back. Instead, I’m hooked. I do turn down most offers to accept new applications ...

As if I needed one more distraction to keep me from writing (or exercising), I have just set up a page on CrimeSpace . It’s pretty sparse as it’s definitely a work in progress, but I managed to come up with a photo to use on it until I can get something better. Hubby suggested I use one that was taken close to 30 years ago, but we both agreed anybody who saw me now would immediately say, “Boy, she looks BAD.” Anyhow, I decided to add the picture here, too. Anyhow, I’m over at Working Stiffs again today with my weekly report from Citizens’ Police Academy. Come over and check it out.
