When revision goes bad

Me: “I don’t want to work on this book anymore. I’ve gone through 10 chapters.”

Conscience (aka janni):“You have 45 minutes until your meeting. Just do 10 more pages.”

Me: “But I printed them single-spaced!”

janni: “Okay, do five pages.”

[Not feeling it…thinking about a cookie instead, except secret writers and illustrators hangout has stopped carrying snickerdoodles... for which they suck... because I could totally have done five more pages if they had my favorite cookie...]

Me: “I know—I can blog!”
