Because of life.
\nBecause of time.
\nBecause of too little time.
\nBecause of too much time.
\nBecause I\u2019m at a renaissance festival.
\nBecause I\u2019m preparing for a renaissance festival.
\nBecause I\u2019m recovering from a renaissance festival.
\nBecause I have to do dishes.
\nBecause I have to do laundry.
\nBecause I have to cook dinner.
\nBecause I have to do more dishes.
\nWhy are there still dirty dishes?
\nBecause I\u2019ve been reading too much.
\nBecause I haven\u2019t been reading enough.
\nBecause I\u2019ve been reading the wrong things.
\nBecause I\u2019m busy.
\nBecause I\u2019m bored.
\nBecause I have to work.
\nBecause I have to play.
\nBecause I have to exercise.
\nBecause I have to write down that I exercised.
\nBecause I\u2019m making plans to hang with friends.
\nBecause I\u2019m driving to see my friends.
\nWhy do all my friends live so freaking far away?
\nBecause I need to update Facebook so my friends know I got home safe and didn\u2019t die on the highway.
\nBecause I\u2019m sleepy.
\nBecause I can\u2019t sleep.
\nBecause the neighbors have their TV on too loud.
\nBecause the other neighbors are having a party and drunk people are being shouty in the parking lot until 3:00 AM.
\nBecause once the neighbors shut the f\u2014\u2014 up, my cat starts to make noise.
\nBecause I have library books that I need to return.
\nBecause before returning my library books I have to review them on Goodreads.
\nBecause I went to the library just to return books, I swear, and now I have six more that have to be read and returned in two weeks.
\nBecause there is a new recipe I want to try.
\nBecause I want comfort food.
\nBecause I have to go to the grocery store.
\nBecause the are still f\u2014\u2014 dirty dishes in the f\u2014\u2014 sink!
\nBecause I haven\u2019t been on my bicycle since October.
\nBecause my mother called and wants me to come over.
\nBecause I signed up for a thirty-day free trial of Netflix.
\nBecause somebody invited me to fighter practice.
\nBecause I have a writer\u2019s group meeting.
\nBecause it\u2019s Writer\u2019s Night Out and I wanna watch people get drunk.
\nBecause there\u2019s a cat on my lap and the rules say I can\u2019t get up from the couch unless she leaves first.
\nBecause every time I start to type there\u2019s a kitty on the keyboard.
\nBecause it\u2019s time to feed the cat.
\nBecause it\u2019s time to get my laundry out of the machine.
\nBecause IT\u2019S TIME TO FEED THE VERY HUNGRY AND NOT AT ALL PATIENT CAT!
\nBecause I haven\u2019t talked to anyone all day and I\u2019m now convinced nobody likes me.
\nBecause I\u2019ve been dealing with people all day and now I need to hide.
\nBecause of crosswords.
\nAnd jigsaw puzzles.
\nAnd blogs.
\nAnd cute cat videos.
\nBecause I have nothing to write about.
\nBecause I have something to write about but it\u2019s lame.
\nBecause writing isn\u2019t what\u2019s important today.
\nBecause writing is so important it deserves more effort and attention than I have to spare right now.
\nBecause I forgot to write today.
\nBecause I can catch up tomorrow.
\nBecause somebody once told me to get a life; I did, and now I have no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
