My sitter had a sudden emergency and had to take a three day leave from watching my munchkin, so I'm home today. Luckily, we were able to break the week up so that Jeff watched him yesterday and Mimmi watched him Tues. Since today is my day and the munchkin is napping, I have a bonus writing session ahead of me.
Part of his nap has already been burned up by laundry and a shower, so I'm off to write like a maniac. I'll fix whatever sucks later.
Update: Got one scene written so far. I have Court TV on without the sound. It's just background stuff for me to look at while I'm kinda staring off into space, picturing what my characters are saying and doing.
But good Christ. Am I the only one who doesn't want to watch the news anymore? I used to go to the CNN page every day. You know what? I can't do it anymore. SO. DEPRESSING.
A man killed his wife with a chainsaw? WTF? Are you kidding me?
Were people always this twisted? Or are we just seeing more of it now because the media is everywhere these days? Did we just not know about this stuff before? Are we becoming a more violent nation or have we always been like this, but there just wasn't news coverage on it all?

I think the problem is that this is the kind of news people seem to want to watch and discuss, so that's what they give us.
You're probably right, there, John. I can't even watch anymore. I can hear Don Henley singing Dirty Laundry :)
