Blog

I didn’t write a decent blog post this week, and here’s why:

1. I was working on the new book.
2. I was tired.
3. I didn’t watch the State of the Union address, so I have no savvy political commentary.
4. Don’t worry, I have it DVR’d.
5. The kids were being cute.
6. The kids were being cranky.
7. I got distracted by something shiny.
8. Rear Window was on BBC, and I have a policy of watching that movie whenever it’s on.
9. Did I mention the new book?
10. I don’t have anything cute to say about the iPad that hasn’t already been said.
11. It’s too cold.
12. I ate too many cookies.
13. I didn’t have enough coffee.
14. Space aliens took over my website as part of an effort at inter-galactic domination  and they wouldn’t let me post.
15. Okay, that last one wasn’t true.
16. New book! Writing! Lots! Really!
17. I couldn’t find my car keys. (The two-year-old took them. They were in the refrigerator.)
18. I wasted too much time following interesting-looking links on Twitter.
19. You know you can follow me there – @cjohnsonbooks
20. I was busy critiquing.
21. I’m reading a really boring book and it’s taking up too much time but I’ve  been a real slacker at book club lately and I think I need to step up my game this month.
22. That last one was true.
23. Sequel-writing took up too much time.
24. I’m lazy.
25. Lists are more fun!
