This week, with everything that has happened, my moods have changed like the weather! One day my mood has been stormy, another has been sunny and warm!
I’m trying desperately to get my daughter on board with timelines as things need to happen if they’re going to happen. I’m sorry this happened to her, it was wrong on so many levels, yet it did and it needs to be managed.
The other day I sat at the other office easily engrossed in editing my own work… the Christmas Judge story that is. I was eagerly making markings on the page with my pencil. I haven’t been able to resume since.
I was also quite eagerly editing the newest story I wrote and that fell flat as well as soon as I turned the page and wrote a note to myself that I need to “insert more here”.
The weather forecast for Thursday to Friday was 2-4 cm of snow… we got 12 INCHES! It was heavy. I opened my curtains yesterday to the beauty that comes with that much snow on trees and shrubs but I groaned when I saw the sheer quantity of it and had to shovel it off my walk because it looked light and fluffy but it was heavy, heavy, heavy!
There are times, in my new(ish) relationship that I feel so overwhelmed by feelings that I feel like I’m going to burst but other times the emotions fall flat.
I think I’m just trying to redefine so much of my life. What I had before compared to this… well, they don’t compare. Time, valuable time, is being spent and is rewarding, uplifting and amazing. It’s more than any one thing and, as an author, I feel like I should be able to put that into words but I can’t which is frustrating. I can’t define my own feelings but can easily give feelings and thoughts to fictional characters that exist only in my head.
Reedsy had some great story starters this week based on MAGIC! Go check them out! Give one or two of them a try because I’m, once again, just not in the mood to write.
