Meh.

[agilebrit]

I'm back to staring at the Books Gone Bad story, since I have nothing else really on my plate right now. sunnyd_lite gave me some ideas that I'll probably incorporate. *hugs her*

I've been...singularly uninspired, lately, in some sort of funk or writing slump, possibly a life slump. I'd also like to do something with the Horse Needs Clothes story, but working on two alien abduction stories in a row is overkill, I think.

I just feel meh about everything right now. With home school starting in earnest plus all this other stuff, I'm a little overwhelmed. How do other women do it, because I'm not sure I'm cut out for this...

*sigh*

*hugs you incessantly* i wish i had some advice for you or even thought provoking questions that you seem to always supply for me. i hate that things are meh right now, i know exactly what you mean. i didn't know you were also home schooling Da Boy, i guess my brain didn't file away that information because i'm sure you've talked about it a lot before lol.

the only things i could say or possibly suggest is who cares if there's two alien abduction stories in a row! if that's where your muse wants to go or your heart is or whatever, go with it! also, i cannot imagine how incredibly hard it is to find time for yourself, but i encourage you to do that. take a walk (alone), play a video game, take a long bath, whatever relaxes and refreshes you. you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else, right? i'm pretty sure you said that to me recently. ;)

in any case, i'll pray for you and i'm thinking of you. *hugs again*

Thanks.

I think part of my problem is that I look at all this stuff I need to do, and I just...freeze up. And I'm, like, I'm never going to be able to finish all this, so I wind up not doing any of it, which means I have that much more to do the next day, and it turns into this huge vicious cycle. If I was smart, I'd make a list and say "I'm going to tackle this big job today, and that big job tomorrow, and that other big job the next day," but I'm a huge procrastinator and wind up putting it all off indefinitely.

This is BAD. And I'm smarter than this, I know. *sigh*

Well. I shall tackle one of those jobs right the hell now. *nods firmly*
