Starting up is hard to do

Okay, it doesn’t help that after I wrote that entry title, the song “Breaking up is hard to do” started its endless run through my brain. I think I’ll be brain-fried all day now! But seriously, I have several writing projects I have to get done, and I just can’t seem to get started!

I’ll sit down to write and notice the stack of papers that is dangerously close to the puppy’s ever-curious nose (and mouth–the dog has paper product radar, I swear). When Tex’s spidey-sense tingles about paper, he immediately switches to search and destroy mode. Then I’ll remember that the kitchen is a total disaster area and my desk looks like a nuclear warzone. Why is it so easy to focus on those nagging leftovers when an important task is at hand?

As I sit here griping on my blog, the irony hasn’t escaped me that I’m writing here instead of where I should be writing. And that just makes me cranky. Argh.
