Hope you all have a great week...
I most likely will not be online until next Tuesday after tonight. This is why. You see, I'm reading this book called 'The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity' by Julia Cameron. It's basically this 12 week program to turn you into a more creative person. So far it's been working pretty well, I think.
Now today I read week four's lesson. And for the next 6 days, I am not supposed to read. Anything. Period. Not the comics in the newspaper, not email, not novels or fanfics or magazines. Nothing.
The purpose of this, you ask? Well, according to the author, it's supposed to help you tune out all the other 'voices' in society so that you can quiet down and begin listening to your own inner voice, thus making you a more productive and stronger artist/writer/etc. I understand and see how this would be beneficial. But a whole week without reading? I'm gonna go nuts! I read every day--at least 65% of my day is spent reading!
*Takes a deep breath* I, however, am going to give this a shot. Which means no online time, because if I'm online, I'm going to be wanting to read fanfic. I have NO willpower not to once I'm on the Internet. So if you write a story while I'm on this mini hell trip and don't get a review from me right away, that's why...I won't be reading anything until Tuesday the 17th. Then I'll have lots of catching up to do.
Oh, and if anyone has any suggestions on things I can do whilst not being online/reading...PLEASE leave me a message tonight and I'll add it to my list of 'things to keep Angie from going insane until Tuesday.'
Anyway, everyone take care and have a great week! Catch up with you later! :)
