I’ve never been able to understand how people can just sit
down and write, it’s such a pain for me. Here I am a self-proclaimed
author and can’t even write an idea down on paper… Writer’s block is one
thing but having to throw out my baby, Silvia, was a nightmare. She was
running smoothly I still can’t grasp what went wrong.
When I sat down to Silvia I could just type away but now…? Then again
I haven’t written anything since I was a teenager so I suppose getting
back into the swing of things will be a little hard… There’s just
something I can’t shake though… A feeling that I have something
important to do…
Maybe if I have a look at the calen--
"I'M LATE!!"
I can’t believe I let myself forget about the appearance at the school!
Now how am I going to get the teachers to take me seriously if I don’t
show up on time!?
I noticed a very odd looking woman standing outside the front doors of the school and as we made eye contact she approached me.
"Miss Lind...?"
“…and that is why the children all left early. I’m terribly
sorry that we couldn’t fit time in today for your appearance, Miss Lind,
however we can reschedule for next Wednesday if you aren’t busy.”
“no…noimnotbusy” I murmured under my breath. I was concentrating so
hard on trying not to laugh right in this poor woman’s face that I could
hardly speak. She nodded at me and said goodbye as she turned to leave.
A smirk creeped along my face and I couldn’t help but celebrate. Of
course I love my work but getting off being late that lightly? She
practically apologised to me! Next Wednesday… I guess I’ll need to write
that somewhere other than the calendar, somewhere I won’t forget…
I knew that if I had gone back home I wouldn’t get any work
done, starring at blank walls has never really sparked my creativity.
Instead I decided to walk to the local library and look for inspiration
there.
I skimmed every bookshelf, surpassing many great pieces of literature
but I was looking for only one book; “Twas a Sim’s wish”. I have read
many articles praising this book and since I am on a student loan it
isn’t easy to find the kind of money to buy it. It was released a few
months back so the library should have it in stock now. Just as I was
about to give up I had found it, in a small little bookcase pressed
against a concrete wall. What a place to put a masterpiece, eh?
There was already a family reading at the table I usually favour so I
decided to trek to the deserted upstairs and sat close to a computer.
Since I had left my notepad back at home I would have to type up any
initial ideas or notes I wanted to make. I would come back tomorrow with
my notepad in hand to write it down.
For now I will enjoy the serenity that is the quietness of the
library, maybe I’ll come up with something by the time I leave for home.
