Bleary Eyed Writer

I've been trying to get all my paper edits into the computer and things were going OK for a while. I got through a fairly rough patch blah blah edit cut etc.I have maybe 30 pages to go. But my gosh. I have some major fixing and no inspiration at the moment. This morning I had my first rowing lesson. It was really fun. Can't wait for more. I got home and started working and found myself falling asleep in my chair since I had to get up early for the rowing instead of sleeping in to catch up from the work week deficit. I could have pushed through, but this nagging little voice I am NOT a nag! Yes, you are. kept saying, Carolyn, you can't keep writing chapters without the hero and heroine both in them. Shut up, I'm fixing this just fine without your help, thank you very much. No you're not. So I took a nap when my eyes drooped closed for the bazillionth time and just when I was in the nirvanah of napdom the phone rang. So now I'm awake. Carolyn, go rewrite those chapters with your hero in them. Just do it, OK? All right all right! Sheesh.
