I'm bored. The Muses have had a great time but they had to leave on other work. I posted a couple of things and then wrote an Evil Editor exercise. Since then I've done pretty much - nothing.
I'm in a mood shift, but I can't tell where it wants to go. There's some nostaligia, but I may have dealt with that by posting about how we used to burn off our yard over on A Voice in the Wind.
Perhaps it's loneliness. Several of my friends (on-line friends) have disappeared, and some others are going to be busy for the next day or two and won't be available. I don't begrudge people their happiness, or their need to get away, but it's a fact that I get lonely when they're gone. Like when Stephen and Randy took that week long trip to San Francisco. It was quiet without them. Too quiet.
I could be nervous. Just sent Traitor to a beta reader. Quest will be going to a different beta reader in a couple of days. And I have a query letter to send to Evil Editor. Like the proverbial Casey at the Bat I could find myself swinging and missing at strike three.
The Animal Kingdom has been moved to the front burner of my creativity, but it's still cooking. Too soon to begin writing.
So many things I want to do, but they ALL cost money. I don't have any. So the problem is this: How do I turn what I'm good at (which is nothing) into money? Politicians, banking and insurance executives do it all the time. Why can't I?
In the meantime, I shall listen to my music. Maybe the Muses will hear it and come back. We could have a party.

I can see why you'd be on a down turn about now. What do you usually do to bring yourself up when you get down?
Well, the healthy things I did was: Listen to music. Watch old movies on television. Read an old book. Contact friends.
The unhealthy things I did was: Eat snacks. Drink pop. Eat some different snacks. Drink some more pop.
Don't worry. The snacks and pop are all gone. I'll have to eat fruit and drink water, tea, or milk.
Things do seem to be quiet at the moment and I know a number of normally robust online entities who've exhibited wobbles in recent months.
But entering the land of betae and sending EE a query is something else. Glad you've written something. It's always the first thing to go.
And why not combine snacking with fun? It's what cocktail sticks and Cheerios were made for.
[haha]
Yeah, I suppose. But I have 127 pounds to take off my body and snacks just don't help.
Cocktail sticks and bits of apple just aren't the same, are they?
Does exercise help? I find that walking helps me when I feel bad. Books are definitely very good if you get the right one.
When I was in my twenties I used to bike and play tennis against a brick wall. Now I don't have a bike or a brick wall.
That's tricky then.
A bit.
