George Angus, Tumblemoose Writer

For this 200th post (yippee!!) here at Tumblemoose I am proud as can be to be highlighting this particular new blog of the week.  I discovered her a few weeks ago and since, I’ve just been waiting for the right time to spring her on you.  Sometimes it’s hard to find these blogs and sometimes they are right under your nose.  This one was right under my Twitter nose.

If you’re like me, you follow a lot of folks on Twitter.  You see them in your timeline and you rarely (if ever) interact.  Then one day you see a tweet from them and think, “Wow, that’s a beauty.  I better check them out a bit.”  Such was the case when I saw a tweet from @jdistraction and headed over to her site.  What a cornucopia of humor and sage.

This is from her “More About Me” page:

Often to avoid writing. Here’s a list of the other stuff I do – a list that doesn’t begin to get at the terrible neurotic ambivalence I feel toward my writing, the love-hate-euphoria-depression-delusional-paranoid-grandeur of it all.

1. I do laundry.
2. I grow tomatoes.
3. I check email. A lot. And tweet. And Facebook. My distraction knows no bounds.
4. I mess with my dog’s face so she looks like a pit bull or a hound dog. She is neither.
5. I make lists. For everything.
6. I edit things, sometimes for money and sometimes because I can’t stop myself.
7. I listen to political pundits. Compulsively.
8. I clean the refrigerator (the sure sign of a bad writing day).
9. I brush my teeth. I have great teeth.
10. I walk my dog (to make up for messing with her face).
11. I Google EVERYTHING. If I can wonder it, I can Google it. That simple.
12. I hike, bike, boat, wake board, workout, do yoga.
13. I read. I often fall a little in love with the authors of the books I read.
14. I daydream. (Michael Chabon is a favorite dream subject.)
15. I go on larks and do inadvisable things. Like start a blog…

I mean seriously.  I fell a little in love that day.  What a hoot!
