Shifting Priorities

Fiorella has been trying to get back to writing again.  She really has, but everything she postponed until she had sent her revisions in.has come back to haunt her--the house, the yard, the laundry, the refinancing she and husband planned to do, the the critique she promised, the luncheon dates with friends she had canceled.

Writing can wait till another day.

Harried

Fiorella is overwhelmed--the book, the taxes, the house, a family business, packing away Christmas, a million other responsibilities.  She stays up late every night and works without ceasing through the day.

Have patience with her.  She's moving as fast as she can.

Desperation Actvity

Fiorella now understands why Mother was such a crackerjack housekeeper--she was home alone all day.  What else was there for her to do?  She couldn't even drive.

Now, Fiorella knows how to drive, but, because her laptop went down,  she's been home all alone for two days with nothing to do.  Nothing to do but housekeeping, that is, which means she's been scurrying around with a scrub sponge in one hand and 409 in the other.  Give her a couple of weeks and she'll have all five acres clipped and polished.

It's a lost cause, though, a losing proposition.  The next day you have to do it all over again.

Driven to Desperation

My name is Fiorella.  I am a computer addict, currently going through withdrawal.

Fio's Dell laptop (my precious, my precious) went down on the afternoon of her birthday, just as Son was sitting down on the couch to help her with Facebook a la Jane Myers Perrine's sage advice.  Husband hacked Fio into his computer so she could keep up with her blog, but she'll have to wait till she gets her machine back  from Click Computer to catch up on her email.

And then there's her manuscripts--what can she do if she's not writing on Princess of Bosque Bend and Princess Redlander?

Housework?


Oh no, Say it isn't so!
