Yeah and stuff

I was thinking about how I’d really like to work on another story for my Avengers’ Big Damn Table and skimming over the words and phrases I have left, but nothing is really forming in my mind for a story at the moment. I know patience and work will be what gets me another story and the next after that. I’m just impatient to have an idea.

Of course part of the problem is that my mind is whirling with other people’s stories. I’ve been so enamored of so many of the books I’ve been reading this summer that I’ve just been living in them. It’s difficult to live in other people’s worlds and stories and still create your own. I know that’s part of why one of the assignments in Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” is to not read anything except the chapter of her book for that week. I managed about four days without reading when I was working on that program and it was hella hard, but I also understood the reason for it and I knew it would be beneficial.

It probably would be a good idea for me to make myself do a reading fast now. I just don’t want to do that. I have been working on a) putting the book down and doing other things halfway through, especially in regards to night time reading and going to sleep instead b) choosing to jog even though that means I’ll be listening to music instead of doing something where I could still listen to my audiobook, c) writing more, d) using my lunch break for writing instead of reading. I’ve been managing each thing with varying degrees of success.

Shit, I’ll have to finish this later.
