Writing Bug Aptly Named

Did you know that bed bugs are a national epidemic? So said the evening news last night. Thousands of dollars can be spent trying to eradicate them once they creep or are carried in to your home. They make red sores that itch constantly.

What do writing and bed bugs have in common? The bite. The itch. When the writing bug bites, you best tend to it because it won't go away. When I try to calculate how many hours I've sat at the computer thinking, then typing, then pressing delete—I've probably spent thousands of dollars in lost income trying to scratch that itch.

Scratching an itch satisfies only temporarily. Many nights as I head for bed I've sworn my computer will stay in sleep mode much longer than I will, only to find I'm right back here the next day pecking away.

Do you know of an exterminator for the writing bug?

Keep living between the ditches,
Betty
