I'm still writing

I know I haven't updated The Adventures of Little Timmy in a while. It's not because I've stopped writing or because I'm dropping out of NaNoWriMo, it's just that I haven't been writing very much.

This weekend was shot with doing social events (worth it), yesterday I had a doctor's appointment (worth it if we figure out what's wrong with me), and the rest of the time I've been battling varying amounts of fatigue, depression, and my own amazing ability to distract myself. Example: writing this post instead of working on my novel.

As it stands, I've written maybe half of the amount that I should have. I plan on catching up; oh yes. It's not like I won't have the time to. I'm counting on my condition being greatly improved next week.

Something completely different: From tha Hizzle.

Everyday I write the book

by Elvis Costello

--

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man on a mission in two or three editions

And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday...Everyday I write the book

Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter
Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters
Four, Five and Six

The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks

And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday...Everyday I write the book
Everyday I write the book

Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the
sequel

And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday...Everyday I write the book
Everyday, everyday...Everyday I write the book
Everyday, everyday...Everyday I write the book...Everyday I write the book
