Every time I enter my office (which is really just a corner in my bedroom with a table and office stuff on it), I kinda start having anxiety. I turn my laptop on and I just feel so overwhelmed! When my yahoo messenger signs me in automatically and the thing pops up 2 tell me I have mail, I start getting uncomfortable….mainly because I have some other mails 2 reply and now I’ve got new ones.<\/p>\n
Another problem is that I have so much 2 write. I have my book, my regular articles (that aren’t so regular anymore), my series of short stories (that I keep starting and cancelling 2 start all ova), my articles for my job in Naija, and all the other mini writin projects I have. Believe me, I have sooooo many. I just completed one – 8 pages, 4998 words. <\/p>\n
Oh, I was reading a writing book the other day, and it said one of the myths about writers is that ‘they are all crazy’. I couldn’t help but laugh at that. Uju always says I’m crazy cause I’m a writer and I come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Of course, I had 2 call her and tell her that it was a myth. But then again, it doesn’t say that all writers are not crazy, it says not all are, so I just might be among those that are. But I think I seriously doubt it. I am as sane as they come. God help me. <\/p>\n
Has any1 seen the movie ‘Secret Window’ starring Jonny Depp? Gosh, he’s so sexxxy, but that’s beside the point. The point is that he was a writer in the movie, and he totally went crazy and killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend. Uju makes it a habit 2 reference 2 that movie all the time. But does that mean I will go crazy and kill my ex?? Nah, that’s definitely not gonna happen. I don’t have any ex whom I want back…. so killin said ex is definitely not even an option.<\/p>\n
OK – I’ve officially gone off the subject. The point of this post is to emphasize the fact that I am overwhelmed. So far, I think I have replied all the mails I’m supposed to reply – thank God for that miracle. I’m feeling better by the way. My eye is a lot better and my throat too is definitely better. It almost doesn’t hurt anymore even. <\/p>\n
So do I know why I am overwhelmed now? Not really. I mean, I know why I am overwhelmed, but I don’t know why those things overwhelm me. A writer has gat 2 write, right?<\/p>\n
Well, I’m out of here. I guess we go yarn later. Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
