Radio Silence
Starting a blog isn’t supposed to leave you feeling MORE stressed then you felt before you started it…but such is not the case for me recently. I currently have five posts in my Live Writer queue (all of them about 80% done) and the mental outlines for at least two more rattling around in my head.
The problem for me right now is two-fold. First, it’s been a busy time at work. Simply stated, earning a paycheck > writing for free. Yet, I still feel like I’m falling more and more behind on the things in life that I LIKE to do, and just keeping up with the things that I NEED to do.
And second, Sarah and her mom fly away in just four more days. About ninety-four hours from the moment I write this actually. It’s the kind of dreaded moment that just seems to drag down my very existence. It makes my blood run thicker and my mind dull out whenever I think about it.
So I have some Wii games to play, some pictures to draw, some stories to write down and some favorite foods to cook…all with a little girl who means the world to me. Everything else is kinda secondary for the time being.
As a teaser, I’ll leave you with the titles of the posts to come in the near future:
- “A Blush, a Crush, and a Sympathetic Rush”
- “How Sweet Life Is”
- “My Last 50 Dates”
- “The Lesser Angles of my Nature”
- “Always Late to the Party”
I hope to at least finish the first one, as it’s semi time-sensitive and I’d like it to see the light of day.
I’m also putting together a few posts on the process I go through when I write fiction “for money” and highlight what an anal-retentive self-editor I really am. I’ll probably use something I was thinking about “workshoping” this year.
I would love to go to Clarion West or Viable Paradise someday, but the money or the time never seem to present themselves when needed.
So I guess what I’m trying to say is, “more will come, please bear with me.”
