The Rock in the Stream
Just click-clackin' before I have to start work. I wrote all my headlines for the day, so it's just a matter of hitting my word count and serving it hot. I chilled this weekend, wrote a little more of Clearing His Frustrations. You know, I had a talk about chapter length in a story with other people -- I didn't realize my chapters feel long to people. I tend to love long chapters, and I keep finding that in order to really weave my chessboard games properly, I need a good 3500-5000 words to do it in. I want to pull my readers deeply into the world I create, and I *personally* don't think that's easy to do in 1000-word chapters. Do I have favorite authors that write short and serve it hot? Sure. But I'm spoiled -- I find it a treat when a writer goes out of their way to really latch onto my brain and refuse to let go until they have finished weaving the message.
Coming into my own state of peac e. Worked with clients and JT to give myself more free time without losing income. Nice. There's a lot I need to do, I lot that I want to do and I think I need to make sure that I get all of my wants and dreams done. I'm having to backtrack -- Google's changed a few things, and one of my sources saved me a ton of cash. I mean, they confirmed what I was already thinking and I'm glad that I stay diversified. My service contract is still strong and whole, so I'm not concerned that much.
I feel good, a little tired...but...I'm okay. I just need a little more time away from LJ. I'm letting go of all the distractions and getting back to being Marisa Serise -- I need to clean this house, write my copy and continue to practice my cooking -- what's the point of buying an expensive mixer (not being a hater, but I'm fully aware that buying a quality mixer means spending good money to do so. Hence, I need to make sure that it will actually be used and used well.)
So, I'm just going to be here when I'm here and gone when I'm gone. LOL. I want to be away to really immerse myself in storytelling again. I have those delicious dreams again where I'm a spectator, watching my favorite bleach boys react to each other...aaaaah mmmm ugggggh.
I need to get started exercising again -- I have been enjoying walking and such. I'm going into town again *takes a deep breath* like, Thursday...and I don't want to go. This weekend was really, really hard mental health wise...I ending up flipping out and cutting my hair. Surprisingly, my hair is a little short and a touch uneven, but not terribly so. I could have done worse. I do miss my dreadlocks a bit but this will shape up to be a nice style. After all, I don't go out much, and the people I interact with aren't all that concerned with how I look.
I'm tempted to wash clothes but I *do* have 13,000 words to clear today, and more if I can. Given the lack of distractions today, I should be just fine.
