Bad dog mommy/good dog mommy

Well, I'm officially a slacker. I haven't written a. single. word. today. That means I'm 1635 behind, which I will hopefully catch up on tomorrow and if not, then definitely on Saturday since that's when our next get-together is planned. Right now I'm not feeling all that enthused about my novel (read: disappointed/tired/bored). And since I don't have ANY clue what's coming next, it's not like I can skip to a scene I'm really looking forward to writing. I don't know what that scene would even be!

Any writing time I would have had this evening got taken up by going to the grocery store. I went straight from work, to voice lesson, to choir rehearsal and got back home at about 10 PM, thinking I might blam out a few, if uninspired, words. But then my dog Bronwyn started pouting at me. You see, the other thing I didn't quite get to today was going to the pet store and getting more dog food.

So I was sitting at my computer (after having scoured the floor and the couch for stray dog kibble) debating working on my uninspired novel or going to the grocery store and getting some dog food to tide them over until I can get to the pet store. How horrible am I?????

Needless to say, the dog food won. I just couldn't bear the thought of the whimpering and sad puppy dog eyes I would have had to put up with for the 10 hours it would be until the pet store opens again!!! It's pathetic.

Maybe I'll do a token 50 words or something. Or maybe I'll just go to bed and pray that my dreams inspire......
