Pushing the rock

So after my gripe yesterday, I dragged out the printout and worked on the silly story a little. And after a while, the “ugh” feeling went away, and I felt pretty good about what I was writing after all. Which is what usually happens. Why is it so hard to remember that?

Arg

Back in don’t wanna write mode. I think I did everything but write today. There’s just enough energy left to poke at the story a bit. Ugh.

Hawk buffet

I saw the hawk again today. She’s so big, I make sure I know where the cats are when she shows up. She took off before I got a picture, a beautiful broad-chested bird with black and white bars under her wings. I did get a picture of what’s left of the buffet. Supplies of […]

So far, so so-so

Okay, I have an outline. I don’t know if it’s silly enough, so I’m going to take a print out and mark it up for places it could be sillier. And then I’ll set my next deadline, despite my resistance to deadlines. Because of my resistance to deadlines. I’d still rather play with updating the […]

Low battery

I would have written something here but I’m still lazing about noodling on my laptop until the low battery warning came on. And that’s pretty much how I feel: battery low. G’night.

Sticking to it

In general I feel like I’ve taken leave of my senses to start working on this dumb fairy tale that I’ve chosen to work on. And yet, why not? It might be easier to finish if I’m not trying to write the best story I’ve ever written. Besides, I have to choose something. I like […]

Snow breaks

There’s young shoots and snowdrops, and then there’s the ugly things revealed by melting snow. Bad snow! You broke my lilac bush!
