8.184. Turnback Tuesday

I’m going back to 2090, which happened October 26th, 2015. That was about ten years ago.

I haven’t done a freewrite that interesting and engaging in a while. I think I need to get back to it the way I need to get back to telling stories to the Lady Talis. These are my goals. I expect I’ll follow through sooner than later, once I get my mind in a place where I am again freed up for a brief time. I have a project due 9/15, and haven’t done nearly enough to finish it on time.

I need to get back to freewriting because I need to get back to storytelling for the sake of storytelling. It is a lifestyle and a Way. It is supposed to be my Way, but I have done little to honor that since I left the beach. It is always this way after a project ends. I stall out and then have to get the thing going again. It takes me too long. It takes longer each time.

Some Thoughts:

  1. The boys are watching a youtube video. Funny how easily they fall back into their habits and how those habits constitute a life. Strange how that life turns on the same wheel as my own, but seems entirely foreign in terms of how time is spent and what goals exist on a daily and longer basis.
  2. It all boils down to dopamine and how these things we do make us feel. We definitely feel better when we are in routines and when those routines create opportunities to get a success feel. That is what is happening there.
