Does it count as breaking your day off rule if you throw a page-long fictional temper tantrum?

Does it count less if it's ink in your journal instead of typed?

How about if you've never seen hide nor hair of these characters before in your life?

What's the proper course of action if you did break the day off rule?

Are you allowed to fictionally snuggle up to Pamela while yelling at Madeleine L'Engle? Or is that just wrong somehow? (Actually this last one was just in place to try to get me to stop singing "Girl Inside My Head," because of the line, "There's only four things running through my mind." Not that it's not exactly what my brain was off doing without me, but I don't think I'm going to rip the page out of the journal if you say it's just wrong somehow.)

The minute I'm done revising this book, I'm going to write something YA. Not a whole something, necessarily. But something.

I want to read you yelling at Madeleine L'Engle. Mainly so I can know if you're yelling about the same things I want to yell at her about. Like what happened to Charles Wallace, dammit. Because despite the evidence the to contrary, I'm pretty damned sure he's not selling insurance in Delaware (http://yellowpages.superpages.com/profile~SRC_portals~T_Wilmington~S_DE~PP_N~CID_517149~LID_M2vqWi3A0a9SXJCGATQAdg%3D%3D.htm).

No, it's not that yell. I have that one, but not tonight. I have more than one yell at her, I'm afraid.

I've been known to yell at L'Engle myself.

I will put my head on the shoulder of The Whim of the Dragon, then, and persevere.

Not if it was more fun and theraputic than work. :)

Oh, that's a slippery slope, that is. Because I enjoy my work a fair amount of the time, but that doesn't mean I'm not working.

write while you can :) admittedly being creative is your job, but creativity is not a daily type of thing. some days are more creative than others. write today and take some other day off :)

Trust me, "creative" and "workaholic" can coexist quite happily.
