Excuses For Not Writing

Published by crsenter at 12:05 am under Writing Short Stories Edit This

I apologize for not posting for so long, but sometimes you have to step away from the computer and spend some time with real people.  LOL.

As I sat here tonight, thinking about why it is that I can’t seem to find anything to write about, I decided to go through some of my old articles and things I had written years ago.  That’s when I ran across a weird little thing I wrote a few years back that seemed perfect to finally post here.  I had originally written this for a writing contest, but just never got posting it.  So, I sat down and made a few adjustments and have decided to add it here for pure amusement.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

Reasons For Not Writing

My excuses for not writing, well, let’s see.  There are so many.

1.)    First of all, there are the piles of laundry that need to be done.  In fact, I still have Wet clothes to throw in the dryer.
2.)    Then I have to get the carpEts vaccumed and the kitcheN needs mopped.
3.)    I have to make someThing for supper, so my children won’t feel neglected.
4.)    I have a ChristmaS program to be at, and cHocolate pretzels tO dip.
5.)    Then I should Probably get some writing done.  But wait, there’s the Phone.  I should answer that.
6.)    I have to let the dog out before she has an accIdent on the floor.
7.)    I should probably cleaN up my kitchen before I get to comfortable.
8.)    Okay, now all I have to do is finish readinG my email and I can sit down and get some writing done.

Will you look at the time.  It’s getting late and I’m so tired.  I need to get some sleep.  I can always sit down and spell out a few words tomorrow.

    Nicely done Christine, and where else would you be if not blogging than shopping. I swear, if it wasn’t for women the whole retail world would cease to exist.

    LOL! I could use the same excuses for not studying or working or doing the things I keep saying I want to do….procrastination is my middle name :)

    @Sire–I’m not like most women, I’m not one to just go shopping for lack of something better to do. In fact, when I do my Christmas shopping, I usually do everything in one day. Not always, but for the most part. LOL

    @Lena–Yea, it’s one of those “all-in-one” type excuses. I wonder how many more I can come up with. Hmmmm…
