Yes, I'm still alive

...but I'm barely living. I haven't written anything in two weeks! It's not that my muse has deserted me, I'm just being lazy! I need to get over myself because I want to write for a living, but it's never gonna happen if I keep getting in my own way. How do I keep myself away from me?

Why, hello there

Had a great start today, worked out, wrote (not much), watched a movie w/the parental units, overall I feel like I had a successful, productive day. Now, I'm going to do a second work out (I love you, cardio!) and then hunker down and try to get some real writing done. My mind's kinda been all over the place, so I'm hoping after the second work out, I'll be able to focus and get a good three to four pages written in the novel and pick up the last short story I was writing (months ago, now, eek) and see what that's looking like. Then get some reading done (I'm trying for two books this week) and then sleep, hopefully to do it all over again tommorrow, just much more efficiently!

Hello, Me

So, I guess I'm still me. Still hibernating, still not trying anything to get me out of my comfort zone. I would really love to not disappoint myself, but how does one get out of oneself? I'm tired of being afraid. How does one outrun fear of themselves?

Wherefore art thou, absent muse?

I haven't written anything in two weeks. I feel like I'm all out of words. How can I get out of this funk? I miss the very act of writing, being creative. How does one go about actively looking for inspiration? Do I watch my favorite movies? Listen to my favorite music? Re-read my favorite books? I don't know, but tommorrow, I'm going to actively work on figuring it out!

New month, new beginnings

I've decided that December is going to be the month of, wait for it, AWESOME (why yes, I have been obsessively watching 'How I Met Your Mother'). Meaning, that I'm going to try and be adventurous, do things that I've always been too scared to do. And that pretty much means every and anything. It's a strange business, stepping out your front door (thanks, Bilbo!) and I intend on getting caught up in life! I'm tired of being afraid to put myself out there, I'm just going to have to get a new way of dealing with rejection, because avoiding it has meant that I've avoided living the life I was meant to have. So, here's to new things, new people, new sights, a new life. I'm excited, I haven't felt this way in a long time.
