I have been come a queen. Sure, I got a crown yesterday. But this is different. I have become a queen at multitasking. I quit the real multitasking a long time ago, forgoing being able to juggle volunteering, working, taking care of kids, playing with my honey, writing at the same time. Oh wait, I still do that. This is my new version of multitasking:
I can actually make it through a story on the internet on the toilet. Surprising? Yes! My children are now old enough that a shut bathroom door means privacy. Well, sometimes. And I am saying a blog post, and a typical blog post is 250 words or less.
I've come to love my elliptical. I can get all of my work done on my computer while sweating off the wine from the night before. Wait, did I say there was wine from the night before?
I can talk to my friends in several ways at once. They will instant message me on Facebook, then while I am talking to them on Facebook (sending my very hysterical emojis thank you very much) that will also start sending me text messages. I can keep both of these separate conversations going at once and actually make sense - except for autocorrect, that worthless piece of shirt.
I can write this blog post and surf the internet at one time. Because while I am writing this blog post my Facebook is buzzing with those instant messages while my phone is telling me those same people have something different to say.
I can think of something funny to say while looking up a funny picture on the internet to post as a comment. Because, we always know that people "like" pictures so much better than words.
I can be cooking a meal, drinking a glass of wine and listening to what someone is saying to me. Ok, let's be honest I can only do two of those things at one time.
I can be thinking of a story while, well, never mind. Since I write romance novels, I'll leave the rest up to you.
How do you do the new multitasking?
