Damn the System!
Ugh. The wonderful day job.
It's like an update to a game system that knocks out homebrew games from being played on it. Or Apple not letting you side load apps.
People find a way. Sure. But still.
But back to the day job.
You see, they always find a way of screwing me over with my writing. Alow me to explain.
I work hard. Probably more than a lot at my place of employment. But I work fast and when you work fast your employers will usually try to milk more work from you--of course with the same pay.
On top of this, I've seen others perusing websites and surfing retail outlets very often.
You see where I'm going with this?
Good for them, but I'm only jotting down some notes, or reading here and there, and feel guilty? Well, that's so.... You know what I mean.
I get my work done and done well.
But there is lways a new way to stop or block me from doing my thing, or so it seems.
On of the many is Word documents were blocked without putting external. OK. Fine. Then they blocked that, too.
I'm stuck with copy and pasting the text!
But I find a way. And I'm not saying to steal time from your employer, no.
Little breaks, or lunch should be fine. A note or two when the thoughts arise. C'mon!
There are times I feel some force is against me.
I imagine a lot of writers feel this way, especially with work.
What do you think? Do you try to snatch snippets of writing while walking to the rest room, or is your day job flexible and you can get some serious writing done?
Let me know in the comments or on Twitter here.
Can't wait to see you there.
