Though I have several story ideas bouncing around in my head, I haven't found enough words to get started on anything. I really miss writing. But I have little time to devote to it, so it just doesn't get done. In the old days, I could set aside a few hours to sit down, waiting patiently for something to come out. I just have too many things going on right now to be able to do that.
That's the nice thing about this here blog. I can still hone my writing abilities while I wait for the stories to burst out in a creative explosion. Wil Wheaton's blog has given me a lot of inspiration, as did his three-book deal. But I'm not looking that far ahead right now.
I need to concentrate on:
- Bella, always Bella
- school--I'm just about half-way done already
- at the very least maintaining my business
- finding a job
- learning to drive
Oh, I'm nearly done with The Dangerous Passion. It hasn't helped me nearly as much at coming to terms with my jealousy as I thought it would. In fact, in some ways, it did more harm than good. I would go so far as to say that it brought out a bit of the misanthrope in me that has been put safely away deep within my soul ever since Bella came into my life. (Before her, I openly called myself a misanthrope; I was even proud of that fact.) But then I remind myself that Bella and I are not statistics. What Bella and I have is truly a blessing from God.
The book does conclude that jealousy--for the most part--is a healthy and beneficial emotion. I certainly can't say it's been a waste of time reading it. It's been a quick, mostly enjoyable, and very informative read.
Well, I need to get a little work done before Bella calls. Sorry about my verbosity tonight.
