It's been a full month since I've written. I wasn't intending the break to be so long, something closer to 2 weeks. I found I didn't have anything to write for awhile, and the stuff I wanted to write needed a lot of time to mull over before I was ready to write about. There was nothing pressing emotionally to discuss after clearing out so much ( Read more... )

I think this will be the last day of writing. I suspect I'll need a week or two break after this. I'm finding it hard to get into a writing mood today. I usually have some dificulty focusing after going to the gym, probably just tired from the workout. I need a few hours to recover and enough food. But I've been really good about my diet lately and ( Read more... )

*I broke LJ apparently. This entry was too long to post and so had to be broken up ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if I've ever written this story down. I'm not sure how much I've talked about it in the last several years. I apologize for those who've heard it all before. There used to be a few narratives in my life I told all the time, the big ones, the ones that shaped me and marked turning points in my life. This is one of them. It's how I left ( Read more... )

I originally only slated this marathon to go for a week. I didn't imagine it would go past that. Some days are easier to write than others. Today I'd rather be doing something else, but there's no room for short cuts ( Read more... )

I was intending to take the day off from writing on account of going to therapy and just lacking time. But I'm at a pretty good place in Warcraft right now with the end of the expansion and most of my goals having been met. So I've got a few weeks with no strong imperative pushing me into game. So I can take a bit of time to keep my streak going. I ( Read more... )

The biggest thing bothering me about all this writing is the sheer time investment. On average, each entry is 2 hours of writing. At the same time, all it's costing me is time not spent playing Warcraft, so I don't feel that's a bad thing ( Read more... )

I'm feeling tired right now. I'm seeing a familiar recurring problem with my sleep pop up the last 3 days. I am getting to sleep fine. The rest I get is restful, but I keep waking up after 6-7 hours and then can't fall back asleep. I'd get out of bed and start the day, but I know I'll be exhausted by mid-day and want to nap for 1-2 hours. I keep ( Read more... )

Today is an R&R day. No gym or raid. I've prepped enough cooking for the next 10 days, so no 2 hour blocks eaten out of the day. I had time for a walk and some vacuuming earlier today and plenty of time to rest and play some Warcraft until a boredom/stopping point to switch gears to write ( Read more... )

I need to keep this entry relatively short as I've only got an hour to write it. Time spent at the gym crossed with raid tonight really eats into the day. So I'll likely touch upon some smaller topics that aren't so emotionally dense ( Read more... )
