Each and every aspect of my online life is tied to my profession as much as it has expanded my social life (yes, online social life because these relationships are real). Life online brings day-to-day fun with family. Truthfully, even my professional online life is filled with fun. More fun than any office job I had in the past.
Right now, I’m feeling guilty because I know the dust bunnies are populating, again. The vacuum is hungry and I feel guilty. Let’s not even talk to the screaming laundry. Plus I can steal a nap after a late night of restless sleep.
Here and now is where I give thanks to hubby for bringing in the pay cheque which pays the bills. Here is where I thank the family for listening to my closed door and tapping fingers. None are quite used to my talking to myself, though. However, they no longer worry over the manical laughter.
They know the dust bunnies will get hunted…at some point. The vacuum will get fed the dust bunnies…at some point. However, the laundry has yet to walk itself to the machines, they need to help there.
Hey, they live with a writer.
If you truly want to annoy a writer…and I’m sure anyone else whose work cave is somewhere under their sleeping roof…just ask them “What. Are you still playing on the computer?” or “You’ve been home all day, what did you do with yourself?” or another favourite “Boy, sure must be great being at home all day eating bonbons and watching TV.” If you want to see them hit the roof, just ask about the dust bunnies, vacuum, and laundry.
Now there are some great advantages to having creativity as one’s profession. We know how to hide the bodies and get away with it.
