I’ve been working on this novel again–trying to get back into the flow of it after several major interruptions. In a perfect life I wouldn’t have interruptions and be able to stay seated deep within the world and my understanding of the characters, but that is not the world I live in at present. There are… distractions. In addition to other projects I find that I just cannot get locked into a rhythm. That, more than anything else, is what I need in order to be successful. I have this novel coming up, and two more on the docket after that. I am stoked to have all these opportunities, but I need to do what is needed to take advantage of the opportunities and fulfill the responsibility of those same opportunities.
Some Thoughts:
- I learned about the serious connection between weight and memory. This shocks me. I have gained a lot of weight over the past two decades and a lot of weight over the past year. I am at 242 presently and the last time I mentioned it in the blog I was at 238. That’s 4 lbs in what? a month? This needs to be turned around. Quickly.
- Watching Voltron vehicle force again. It is not good. It lacks the lore and interesting characters of the GoLion series and feels, for lack of a better term, like a money grab through the first 3 episodes.
- Nobody reads the blog anymore–not even my partner. I am aware of that and it’s okay. It is the truth of a writer that you are writing for an audience, but you’re really writing for yourself, because the words need to come out regardless of who reads them. It is a calling. This blog didn’t start as that. It started as a way to keep me on track with daily writing, developed into a strange form of public therapy, and now it is simply the way.
