I don’t think I’ll be posting as much in the future. I have plans…
Tuesdays I’ve got KIBIS and there’s always Oirish Tirsday – both days I that I don’t get to play online as much as I usually do. And of course, the job takes up a huge chunk of my day (I worked an hour late today and feel pressure to go in early tomorrow as I still didn’t get everything done).
But that’s not why I think that I should step away from doing my usual one or more posts a day. I still could, but they would be small things like terribly cute cuddling cat pics or whatever dead leaf I found interesting enough to photograph.
I think I need some more ‘free’ time: not for the drawings, but the writing! I love the drawing, and after the excitement about King over the weekend, I really do want to do more of it. I’m waiting for inspiration to strike there, however. I can be a bit slow to cogitate over important things.
Which brings me to the point – after leaving it aside since October 2010, I’ve picked the book back up.
The Book. The one I’m writing. Or was writing, and am now revising and playing catch up with and getting back into the fun groove of my characters. I’ve over 25K words, so catch up takes a while.
I think I’m ready. I know I’m ready. My writer’s block was 100% guilt about playing and having fun while I didn’t have a job. I felt so guilty that my funny bone went to sleep, and my characters got bored and wandered away from me. Because for me, they write the book. Not me. I just listen in.
This blog’s entire original purpose was to get me back in the habit of writing. It did so much more than that! I found people I like and respect and I would welcome into my house without question. I found artists and writers and photographers and people who care about politics and good causes and so very, very many people who love their furry kids as much as I do. You are all fantastic, and I wouldn’t ever be able to ‘go away’ from you for more than a day or two! You have given me back my voice, my words, my funnybone, and my drive to finish what I started. Thank you!
It’s still in there, The Book, and it wants to come to life again.

It’s alive! Onward.
You’re (were) writing a book? 😮
Yep! Started off like a mad woman, then I went away for two weeks and never picked it back up. Aaa!
Aawe, shame. You should try and get back to it!
I am – already started. Which is why I won’t have time to play online as much 🙂
Ooooh. 😉
Good luck!
Good luck with your writing! 😀
I’m doing the pee pee dance of utter happy happy joy joy!!!!! Oh I can’t wait to hear all about it. I miss the adventures and the discussions etc. Oh this is so exciting!!!!
I’ve run into a roadblock already. I have no peace in this house. At all. Twice D has walked in on me, nattering away about NOTHING, and even when he isn’t directly talking to me, he is talking to the dog, the cats, the cheese, the dinner… AND the fucking music never stops. We worked out a hand signal I can use to stop him talking TO me, (3 guesses what it is), but it’s not going to be enough.
You go, girl! Best of luck with your book. I’m right there with you. Have a collection of short stories in the works that never wants to get done because I’m still not ready to let it go. Every time I feel I am, one more story pops out of my memory and works its way into the collection. I’m just procrastinating.
