Trying to get myself moving

[averygoodun42]

Ergh. Am achy and tired this morning, so here I am posting while I wait for the naprison to kick in. I really hope it's just the paint fumes and not another cold coming on.

Yesterday was a good day all around. I got almost everything on my to do list checked off, and then went to choir and actually sang out. I think people might have actually heard my voice for once. I know I did. I think I shall have to sit in the back row more often. I don't get distracted by other people's wrong notes, so I can hear my own.

I have been feeling very good mentally for the past month or so. Surprisingly so. I haven't been picking at myself, or really cutting myself down like I usually do. I've been happy. This is very nice.

I have realized a downside to being happy, though. I have no inspiration to write. Painting ideas are coming to me in droves, but putting words down for a story is becoming more and more difficult. (Though I really do want to write a crossover crack!fic featuring Sally Sweet as Snape with amnesia. I really, really do.)

When the kitchen stuff is over and done with, I will try to get back into the groove so that I can finish SMHC, but... I guess I write from sadness, and frankly, I'd rather hand the story over to someone else than be depressed so as to finish it. Hope you all understand.

I hope you will find a way to write from a more balanced and centred you - it would be sad not to have more of your work.

I hope so, too. Right now it's hard even considering writing because all my energy is going to the kitchen, but after that's done, and the winter doldrums set in, I might be in a better place to direct my energy toward writing.

And thank you, btw. *blushes twice*

I sure don't want you writing from sadness! are you okay with writing crackfic and fluff?

If the muse gifts me with anything, I will heed her call. As soon as I have the time, that is. ;-)
