Just not feeling it today.  I did a little tweaking on Kindred, cutting out some dialogue where my characters ran off into things far more interesting to them than a reader, and started working on the transition from the intro to the meat of the story.  Having trouble getting that right, so I decided to give it some muse time.

I wrote a bit on a couple of other things, but nothing of real note.  I’m even less disposed toward editing than writing tonight, so Queen is going to have a bit longer to simmer.

I’m trying to chill out and see if I can get something up a few hundred words, but time’s running out, and the young one is wound up tighter than a drum, which is hard on the nerves.

Better luck tomorrow, I hope.

Well, I ended up in the ER Sunday, so I didn’t get to finish the chapter.  Then work has been a nightmare ever since.  I’ll just have to see if I can squeeze in a little writing time before the weekend.  If not, I’ll pick up where I left off then.

Right now, I need sleep.  Oh well.  I guess I did need to put back a little money to fix the heat in my car, so the hours will be worth it when that time rolls around.

Well, my internet has been down for the last day or so.  Spent way too much of that time on the phone with barely understandable people in India or somewhere going through troubleshooting B.S. that I’d already done before they finally transferred me to the “2nd level” in the states.  A few minutes of conversation that I could actually understand, and they tracked down the problem to their local hub.

Been musing, and I’m going to give a shot and writing some of it here in a little bit.

Haven’t been home from work before 10 ( 11 tonight ).  I go in at 7, so do the math *laugh*

Needless to say, I’m in little shape to do anything but try to get the young one in bed at the moment.

I do have Friday off, but if this doesn’t chill out, I’ll probably sleep all day to recover 🙁

I hit one of those points where I’m having to force myself to open the word processor, so I’m taking a breather for a couple of days.  Fighting this mood seems to be the worst possible course of action, and just stepping away and not thinking about it for a couple of days has served me far better in the past.

I’m just sitting around reading and watching movies, which seems to help me get my juices flowing.  We’ll see how I feel again tomorrow.

This is why I’ve went with a policy of not releasing anything until a story is done.  My muse is just too unpredictable nowadays to keep up with anything resembling a decent release schedule on a continuing story.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  Depression is a bitch.  I’d advise giving it a pass 😛
