My baby is psychic...

przed...and not in a good way.
She seems to be able to tell when mommy is just about to start writing. See, I foolishly signed up for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
discoveredinalj Anarchy challenge. Got a cool prompt, have an idea for a nice meaty, plotty story. Even have a number of scenes mostly written in my head. The problem is transferring the ideas to paper. Or electrons.
See, if I'm lucky, the baby goes down for a two hour nap in the afternoon. Which generally gives me enough time to get the lunch dishes cleaned up, watch an episode of something to keep the PVR down somewhere below 95% and then maybe do a bit of writing. Except for the past three days I get to the part where I'm going to do some writing and the baby wakes up. Today, I'd only managed to re-read what I'd already written, had typed literally two words and then there was crying.
Sheesh.
At least she's gone down nicely tonight and after watching an ep of Supernatural with the Sweetie (All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2, yay!) I actually got some work done on the story. Nearly 3,000 words. Which would be cause for more Yay! except for the fact that I'm still working on the set-up. Darn my propensity for meaty, plotty stories.
Should be cool, though, when it's done. If the baby doesn't continue to be psychic.
