Nothing much

I've been staring at this blank post screen for the past 44 minutes. It's worse than a blank Word document. At least then I can just start making up a story. Here I feel like I need some sort of inspiration. A topic at the very least. But I've got nothing today. Lack of sleep has wiped out my brain zombie-style.

How long until bedtime?

Aww... I hate when that happens. Today has been one of those days.

Happy Monday!

Yeah, I feel your pain. Today has really been bad. Bedtime can't come too soon. And I hope we all feel better tomorrow. :)

Erin Kuhns said...

You've just described my...life. I hope tomorrow's better.

And, uh, bed time was an hour ago. :)

DL Hammons said...

Did I miss something? What's behind your lack of sleep?

If you reply with the continuation of conciousness, I'll bop you!

@Kimberly I hate to say I'm glad I'm not the only one, but, you know... ;)

@sarahjayne I second that. Kids to bed and then I'm out.

@Erin I hope you're joking! I couldn't survive much more than a day or two without sleep. And yes, bedtime...now.

@DL Got a wild hair up my butt to clean out the closet yesterday. Then in-laws decided we should all go out to dinner. Came home at 9:00 to a disaster area. Bed covered with clothes, etc. Didn't finish untilj almost 1:00. Thing 2, of course, chose to rise at 6:20. I'm a full 8 hours a night girl. Thus...pretty much useless.

I have not accomplished much on my revising and my housework has slipped. Bad, bad combo.

I FEEL YOU! I usually try to do a late night Sunday post, and I thought "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow morning" and then nothing, and now I am staring at the computer thinking "I HAVE to have something for tomorrow a.m.!" Here goes nothin'....good luck to you, too!

Ugh I hate those days! I'm having the oppostie problem... tons to write but with friends in town I have to wait... Wednesday evening I'll be hitting the ground running!

Good Luck having something to write!

Melissa said...

Sorry you're having one of those days....they suck to no end.

Hope you get more sleep tonight:)

too long - is the answer!

Happens to me all the time. Nothing wrong with a little nothing post every now and then.

L.T. Elliot said...

For me, an hour. ;)

Hang in there. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Tiffany Neal said...

What is up? I've been the same way recently. I think a vacation is needed.

Lady Glamis said...

You poor thing! I felt like that too. I ended up doing the post I did yesterday - which all about being lazy and uninspired. Kind of. Hah. Good luck with inspiration!

Nisa said...

Bedtime is getting closer or has it passed... Maybe a nap is in order. You know, a snack before the real meal. Hope you're feeling better!

Wendy Ramer said...

Just finally took the time to scroll down your blog and found out that I missed your fabulous February contest, though I believe I DID become a follower during that month. Glad I unwittingly helped your cause ;-)

Hey, Awesome Anissa. I had to say thank you for the Amazon gift card from your excellent contest. I spent it tonight and had such a blast. I bought 12 books. Count them. . . 12! Some were so out of print. Thank you, and thank you again, generous writer-lady.

Julie, The Wife said...

Hey Anissa - I gave you one of those bloggy awards over at ADayInTheWife, but don't feel like you have to do anything, I just wanted to share some link love with you and say I really appreciate all of your posts - and I mean ALL of them, even the ones that say "I am staring at a blank screen" because I can relate! Thanks!

Corey Schwartz said...

Oh, that happens to me a lot. Even when I do sleep :)

Bummer...Sometimes a photo inspires my post....

Jackee said...

It's the weather. Blame it on the weather...

Is it getting any better?
