Talk about bad recon work!

Yesterday was my first day back from vacation.
I'd spent most of Monday weeding the inbox down to a managable number and creating a To Do list to choke a shark.

Got to the office at the crack of yawn to start in.

And realized it's pub day for the new Jack Reacher novel.
The novel that is sitting here on my desk, tempting me. Tormenting me.

What kind of idiot was I to come back on pub day for the latest Lee Child novel?

YAAYYYYY!! That means it will be showing up in my mailbox soon.

Must get as much writing done as possible before that glorious day arrives...

Oh shiny . . . all that rippling water, sort of like Reacher's shoulders, and that tempting title. Never Go Back Janet, Never Go Back . . .

I think cupcakes are in order. The work will still be there tomorrow.

Carpe Reacher!

"Carpe Reacher" ---my new tattoo.

That's not a problem - just give it away in a contest. Then you won't be tempted.

I'm half way through on my kindle, but I keep getting interrupted by guests.
The mental image of myself head-butting the crown of their nose is getting harder to ignore.

Great story so far.

Yeah, you're getting nothing done.

Of course, you can always say it's competitive research. It doesn't get the work pile down, but at least you can justify it to yourself...

I really hope you spent the day reading. And now I need to go get this book!
