It's been a while since I've thrown down a good ramble

Eh, what am I? Melancholy? Frustrated? Apathetic? I don't know what it is this feeling is in me these days. It's hard to pin down.

Work is always on my mind, and what will happen to the company and my job. I get all sorts of different signals. Next week the Veep is coming in again and is SUPPOSED to finally review me as well as tell me what ( Read more... )

Chronic job stress is very hard to get around. It's just... yeah ( ... )

Maybe you're right. It's been quite a long time since I've sat down to write anything creative.

Maybe after next week's circus I'll try to plan something like you suggest out. Have to see.

Thanks.

Last night Sreya (who is visiting me) and I were talking about what we could do to bring SW writing back, and ALW as well. In a month, the "lease" will expire, and I have to decide if I am going to renew. It seems ridiculous to spend money on a ghost town. If we are done, then we need to let go.

But, you know what? I really don't think we are finished with this. Maybe we need some kind of a jumpstart or kick in the behind. It sounds as though you are still toying with a GSSA. And I would love to find something to get me writing again.

Stay tuned.

Hey Sue and Sreya!

I was wondering about your "lease" and what you would do. I AM interested in what you might want to do.

As to whether I and/or we are done with SW, I really couldn't say. I don't know why I keep going back to the stories and the characters. Granted, they are strong-willed characters and I have all these big storylines in my head for all this time. But writing SW is not going to get me any closer to getting published in any variety. Maybe the larger issue I need to settle is if that is truly a dream I want to pursue. If I'm just going to be a hack writer all my life then I'd feel better about going back to SW.

I really hope you figure things out with ALW. I do love the site and wish it and you success. As you know, in the past I've done a lot to keep it going, but I can't promise you I can do that again. That's not to say I won't, depending on what you decide, but I'm just too scattershot right now.

I WILL stay tuned. Please keep me informed. I wish you luck.
