"Come morning light..."

Dunno if it will last, but there's been a mini blogging revival chain reaction. Danka Ah tee eM. So far, it's just one other friend besides myself, but Dad said he'd been thinking about it. I think he said he was just worried I wouldn't like what's been on his mind of late. I suggested editing privacy settings and just writing for himself.

This morning, I thought it would be fun to sing my foot down on the metal frame of my bed while changing. >.< I didn't think much of it at the time. Not the first time I've proven klutzy. Heck it wasn't even the first time this morning....ran into the cat and Pixie is built like a brick! So yeah, I went to bed without icing it or anything. >.< Woke up in the afternoon and now I'm really wishing I'd iced it sooner. Toes are sore and I'm limping a leettle or at least walking a little slower. I'm icing as best I can now... darn ice pack keeps thawing too quickly in this heat.

I've been playing a song on repeat on and off since yesterday morning. It's a sad song, or makes me think of the sadder bits in the books (song's from the Hunger Games soundtrack). But it's still a pretty song. I should stop though, cuz the constant replaying of the video on YouTube makes my computer run slower. :-P

I keep thinking about the games we used to play with GI Joes and miscellaneous action figures. Part of me wishes I could still go back and play them again. I should write the stories of those characters we made or at least stories based on them (cuz some of them got weird). I wish I could just sit down and write. Focus enough to write. Be able to hold back criticism until I've actually got more than a couple pages. That's kind of why I liked role playing. I din't have to write as much, but even that I can't seem to focus on very long. I am reading a little more, which is good cuz that used to inspire the RP writing anyway. Anywho... I'm babbling. I'm good at that. Dunno if I could ever write stories to publish...my babbling wouldn't make for good books. :-P

Join the club - I have had ideas for stories over the years, but what I have actually written - in around two years - amounts to about 6,000 words written in sporadic fits and starts.

I found one thing that did work was to have something started - in my case a google doc - and whenever I was in the mood, I could add to it, wherever I was. A large part of my writing has been done when in America, which suggests it might be something I'd do a lot more often myself if I wasn't busy playing all those games instead!

[Also, while your babbling may not make for good 'books', it would make for superb dialogue. Equally, while my descriptions and prose is excellent for books, I really struggle with writing dialogue.]
