and ran a line from the telephone pole to our house...

then there was all the shopping and preparing for xmas,
and now we're at the place we're house sitting, and we
decorated the xmas ... erm, tropical palm type houseplant
for our tree, and we wrapped our presents and put them
beside it on the fireplace, and we're ready for tommorow!

and we're going to have coffee and beachy goodness, and there's
presents (we scored mad cool stuff xmas shopping! details tommor)
and we're going to make a magic mushroom dinner (we have two kinds
of mushrooms - black trumpet and lobster mushrooms, that will be
featured in a cream sauce with artichoke ravioli - mrowr!!!) and

i bought a pair of banana republic pants today.
because.. well, they're wool and fully lined and were half price at the thrift store.
which made them $4, and they were a size 4.
a dollar a size, hah!
;)
no, really though.
i've never been in to a banana republic, i actually pride myself on that, but..
the pants man, they're so soft!
and the size, well, i haven't gone running in about 2 months or so, which means these were just a nice little ego boost.
hah!
silly life. O.o |

kevin texted yesterday and said "write! anything! now! a sentence, a story, a novel, just write!" and... well, i couldn't because i was in the midst of running errands. i told him, "later", which was very vague (and he called me on it) but yet...
later? this is where we find ourselves...
writing.
self-imposed, semi-solitary, writing with my mattus.
alright.
start.
to write, you have to start.
i'm not exactly fending off writer's block as much as i simply don't wish to take the time to think of a specific topic.
i'll hopefully manage to just slide in to one.
the old school tactic, stream of conscious what.
everyone seems to be writing these days.
i feel odd about it.
i want to be doing it, more, MORE... well, at all.
and i don't take the time, make the time; i just don't do the time thing.
until recently, houseguests and all, there wasn't enough quiet for me to hear my thoughts, so i ignored them.
and now?
now we're getting back into a work schedule type thing and i think more structure will be better for encouraging my creative outlets. time, silly thing that it is, is easier to digest when it's dealt with in specifically prescribed doses.
i need to get back to the book, no doubt, but i have other little ideas running around in my head.
and i have this idea of being... published.
i've never had a creative work published. (reviews, articles, nonfictional pieces, yes. but i never take those things in to account when i think about "writing.")
well, that's not entirely true. i think i had some small pieces published in my high school's yearly creative writing magazine, but that was more years ago than i'd like to count.
i've never tried to have anything published is a more accurate statement. in all of my writing years, in all of my writer fancies, i've never submitted anything, anywhere.
is that... common?
for a while there was an explicit reason - an unabashed fear of publication. it's just a form of the good ol' fear of rejection, ya know? fear of anyone reading anything i had written that hadn't come from real-life-facts. fear of ... not being as imaginative, as descriptive, as ... intriguing as i hoped i was.
ironically, that's one of the reasons i started my livejournal. so that someone, somewhere, would actually read the crazy words i put out and it would do something. have some effect. make some one smile, make someone laugh, make someone think, make someone emote. someone that wasn't me.
it was a big experiment, and it's gone pretty well. i love writing for my friendly audience, but i never followed through with the story writing aspect i had always hoped to attain.
it's a shame. if it's what i want to do, i need to do it.
i need to do it the same way i've done this, which is just sit down, and start.
....hours. i'll need hours.... |

I'm still here.
I'm still trying.
I'm still trying to believe there is anything of any value left to discover.
I've run into more stupid beautiful people than I've run into ugly smart people. There must be a message there.
I'm not beautiful, but I'm not ugly either. Maybe I'm only a mid-intellectual.
Really, though, there must be more out there than what I've come across in 44 years.
Was I just born way too early? |
