Todays yukky job was to clean the cooker (URRGGHHH.) It's not really a long job it's just a messy job which is why I tend to put it off. Anyway, its done now and the rest of the day is my own.
I have also this morning typed up a story that I finished last night so I am feeling like I have achieved something today already and its not even 10 o'clock yet. Imagine what I could have achieved if I hadn't spent half an hour trawling the internet and checking emails for acceptances that weren't there. Well you never know, I have a few pieces submitted in other countries in different time zones, there might have been an email that I needed to see.
In all seriousness though, I wonder how much time I waste surfing the net and checking emails./ Do I really need to do that every day? I was reading an interview with a prolific author who said that they never check their email on a writing day. I suppose the difference is that they have made it and I'm just hoping that a short story is accepted an a paying magazine.

Cleaning!!! whats that? uggh. Well good luck with it. I had a short story returned today but will send it out again by end of the week...if my negative side doesnt kick in first!
kick your negative side as far as you can motherx. I've had at least 2 rejected stories accepted by other magazines. And the ones that accepted them paid better than the ones that rejected them so that was a bonus.
As for cleaning - its something to be endured but only as infrequently as you possibly can.
