A Day in the Life of a Writer
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Don’t forget—all comments count toward the Big Ol’ Box o’ Books 1,000th Blog Post giveaway.
Since I’m on deadline, I thought I’d let some other writers show you what a “day in the life” is like for those of us trying to make a living entertaining others with the written word:

I have never used a Wii Fit to avoid writing.
Although looking at my belly, perhaps I should be…

That second one “A Writer’s Life” cracked me up! Sooo funny!
I have no talent or aspirations of ever being a writer. I’m just an avid reader. But I respect and admire you so much for all that you go through to write and publish a book! That’s why I do what I do with my book blog, to help spread the word!

That second one is hilarious. If only the coffee pot or our appliances would just get the job done. 🙂

We used the Wii to watch a movie on Netflix last night. Does that count? I’m hoping my writing time will improve when school starts back and the people in my house are actually gone during the day. Of course I’m gone during the day, too….

I’ve seen that last video clip before — the one with Robin Hatcher. It’s still way too funny and could be a major distraction to writing because I would keep watching it for inspiration. LOL.

I NEEDED THIS! I would stay longer, but I’ve got to get back to the office. My grande, three-pump, non-fat, half-caf is calling.

I just read your Tweet about the USPS. It reminded me of a lesson I learned last year.
It pays to pay attention. After spending hours on the road traveling to Atlanta, I needed a restroom break, so I demanded my husband stop at a chicken restaurant in a safe part of town. After all, it was across from the post office. That’s safe, right? I returned to the truck before the rest of the family and noticed that this post office was HUGE with barbed wire atop the surrounding walls. How odd. When he returned, my husband explained to me that UPS did not stand for US Postal. It stood for US Penitentiary. I’m glad I didn’t try to mail a letter.

HAHAHA!! That’s hilarious Tee…BIG difference between postal service and penitentiary. Although our post office has a big ol’ fence and barbed wire too and it isn’t that exciting where we live. 🙂

I LOVE the last one! Watching Kristin on the wii fit was fun. I especially liked seeing the sharpening of pencils, throwing of papers, and all the inspirational sticky notes around the computer monitor.

The third on was histerical and it was fun seeing those authors in real life actually moving instead of just staring at you on a inside cover. I bet it is hard once deadline is your new tagline, I bet it changes how you feel about your creative outlet, all of the sudden it’s a job. I did not have that song on my ipod, so thanks for putting in the artist so I could run over to itunes and grab it. I might have to watch that one again. Thanks
