The muse knows, but I don’t

Apr 02, 2008

It’s 10:30 A. M., and I got to my desk at 8:00 this morning. I’ve just finished 15 pages on SWALLOWING DARKNESS. Yeah, you read that right. Fifteen pages in what, two and a half hours? Yesterday it took me about nine and a half hours to do four pages for the newsletter.
Two and half hours; fifteen pages. Nine and a half hours; four pages.
Just proof that this job is almost impossible to plan around. How can I guarantee I’ll be done for the day in time to go out, or make a meeting, when I can’t tell what kind of day it will be? Is it a two hour day, or a nine hour day? Only my muse knows.
