Attack of the Guilt Monkeys

There are lots of things we are supposed to do. And as a result of that, there are lots of things that are meant to be done but just don't quite happen. Like writing that blog post you said you would do two weeks ago...
They arrived from the murky depths of Nanowrimo, where they shove faultering writers towards the 50,000 word - 30 days deadline. They escape from their barrels unless words weigh the lids down and they WILL come.
Do not believe this picture. Guilt monkeys are evil.
They cling to you with their surprisingly strong tails and chatter away in your ear about all the things you had blissfully forgotton until they drive you insane.
Since doing Nanowrimo, the monkeys have escaped from captivity, it seems and have followed my writing friends and I around in real life (because Nanowrimo can hardly be consider 'real'...) Forgot to bring the cake for writing club? GUILT MONKEYS ATTACK! Left that important thing at home (probably more cake)? Guess who is coming to get you.
Yes people. The fear has been realised. The guilt monkeys have been releashed into the wild and have diversified. Be warned...

(Side note: Happy now, guilt monkeys? I've written a blog post for today. Now go and get someone else)
