An offer you can't refuse.

I'm so tired at the moment it's hard to get to the end of a sentence without forgetting where I started or bursting into tears. As you can imagine, this is making work tricky.

So I'm going to do myself a deal. I have 11 sheets of books to get through (for the first pass, anyway. Someone else can do the second). For each sheet I finish, I'm allowed 15 minutes of writing time. It doesn't matter what I write, just that I write *something*. Write or Die doesn't work for me, but I can knock out 100 words in 15 minutes, surely. Which would give me 1100 words by the end of the day. Which would be awesome.

Deal?

Deal.

*rolls up sleeves*

Please tell me that other people talk to themselves like this...

Myself, my dog, the David Tennant narrator in my head, my character's... Hell I have *arguments* with my characters, but then again, who doesn't??

*offers tea*

My only problem is that it's hard to shake hands with yourself...

But my cataloguing application just died on me, which I'm taking as a sign that I should be writing *looks innocent* ;)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

It is definitely a sign *nods*

I'm getting to experience more and more how much my mother talks to herself. :) I talk to the cats. And make lists, which is my usual form of talking to myself, but when things are too bad in my head to get a list down, I make deals with myself out loud, too.

::hugs:: You can make it!

It really helps, seeing it out there rather than just in the confines of my own head :)

Right. The first 100 words of SGA Pirate!fic coming up!

Woo! Piratefic is always a good thing.

You did ask. *g*

I argue with myself, but unfortunately I seem to lose a lot of the time which is a bit crap. I also tend to do it walking down the road which gets me some really funny looks at times.

And I think that's a good deal.

:P Thanks.

Yup, I'm always getting into trouble talking to myself on the street. As long as I remember not to do it on the bus, I'm fine.

It'd be great deal if I wasn't so damn hungry and so could string two thoughts together well enough to write. I hate having a 1pm lunch *gnaws table*

Losing to oursleves is always a risk - it's then that you need to adopt a 'glass half full approach' and say at least you didn't lose to someone else...

Talking to yourself is okay. It's talking to the toaster and expecting a response that's problematic.

*nod* Talk to myself all the time. I'm the only one at work that I get sensible answers from.
