Writing vs. House

Finally, I feel like writing again. Really writing. Why? Because I'm supposed to spend the next month super-cleaning my house, painting, and preparing. It's psychological. I'm an expert at avoidance.

I thought it was a super secret, but dh imformed me last night that it was only to be a surprise to others in town. So...his older son (from 1st marriage) is an actor/screenwriter. He attended Harvard/Amer. Rep. Theatre where he gained life long friends, some of whom have become successful in TV and movies.

He, along with a bunch of those folks, a director, editor, cameraman, etc. are coming to our hometown to film something. Not sure what--knowing them, could be an indy film or a Comedy Central show. They previously made an Indy film called "You Are Here." Dh's son is on the far left, his friend Ayjay, from Office Space, is 3rd from the left. I'm not sure who all is working on this new project.

But, they want to live in our house while they're here! Help!

We're to be relocated (at their expense) to a hotel, so they can all live and work under the same roof. They'll be filming around town during the day, so I can come in and run the business (and surf my favorite boards and blogs :)). But, there will be a busload of strangers in my home for up to 2 weeks. Opening my cupboards and drawers. Looking in my closets. Using my laundry room. I have 1/2 painted walls (see my priorities) that need to be finished. The cleaning itself could take weeks.

So, I want to write--ALL THE TIME NOW! LOL.

For those of you who struggle with motivation to write, here's my advice: invite 10 or 20 strangers to come to your home. Easy.

What motivates you?
