Orderly Chaos

Remember to feed the dogs – must get more food.
Water the plants and feed the dogs – this will take an hour… Don’t run late.
Running late – grab a cup of tea, not a coffee.
Coffee = migraine.
Check the dog bowls to make sure you fed the dogs.
Go to the workshop – turn on the lights and then remember the computer.
No computer = no writing
Go back to the house and grab the laptop – remember the power lead.
Make another cup of tea and go back to the workshop.
Check your phone – remember the phone is in the house.
Fetch the phone – trip over the dog who is sunning herself in the back garden.
Close the door to the workshop – in the corner of your eye notice a flash of orange.
Get the cat out of the workshop before you end up with muddy footprints on the…. – oh…
Wipe down the desk to remove the footprints and shake the mud off the manuscript.
Catch the cat and pop him outside – get distracted by the Flintstones reference.
Set up the laptop and turn on the music.
Sit down and open the word document.
Get lost in a world of your own manufacture – try not to get distracted by grammar and typos.
Drink some tea and pull a face when you find it cold.
Drink it anyway.
Get frightened to death when a parcel arrives and the dogs start barking.
Fetch the parcel – yell at the dogs confidently and when they ignore you act surprised so that the delivery man thinks they are trained.
Take the parcel to workshop.
Leave the parcel on the side and start writing – keep looking at the parcel.
Open it – tell everyone what it is on Facebook.
Start to write – find that you are thirsty.
Go to the house and make a tea.
Back at the workshop start writing.
Get lost in the actions of your characters.
Drink some tea and pull a face when you find it cold.
Drink it anyway.
Write.
Get hungry and go have lunch.
