I am a mood again. I want to scrap everything and start fresh, including this website, in favor of just writing into my own OS.
Upon looking at other platforms to host this site on, everything seems so bare bones, and yet pricey at the same time that requires a lot of backend coding and maintenance I do not want.
Then I realize it is just a mood, one that waxes on and waxes off which leaves me wanting what I have already.
…stagnant, stifled, static. Send snacks.
My creativity and inspiration waxes and wanes more frequently than the moon does. Annoying.
There is too much logic in my head right now and not enough emotion. This is affecting me in unexpected ways that need to be…researched. Analyzed. Damn it. Too clinical. Felt? Felt.
I have rearranged my home study into something…functional, but lack the energy to take advantage of that right now. The guest bed has been removed and in its place, a desk for analog work such as collage and correspondence.
I hit the gym for the first time in two weeks and I am feeling it. I even took a nap due to lack of good sleep while attempting to capture the Orionids meteor shower early this morning. Now, all I want to do is sleep and watch something mind-numbing.
My heart and mind just aren’t into doing any book writing today. Or sort, edit, organize book notes. It seems my brain cranks out two days worth of good stuff and needs up to two weeks to recover and do it again. Vicious cycle indeed.
Read what no one else is reading. Otherwise, you’ll end up with the same ideas as everyone else.
Read different subjects to make connections where others see none.
It’s too bad that access to most of the world’s information does not come with the wisdom to know how to use it.
There is something about travel that inspires me to write. I must have generated hours worth of material to sort through and organize for my book, Explore More today.
Upon further inspection of the Orion constellation image I took the other morning1 I noticed multiple nebulae. Had I remembered or even noticed, I would have broken out the tripod and opened up the shutter longer for a better shot. Here, the Horsehead and Flame nebulas are quite visible, as is the Orion Nebula to the lower right. I’ll try again on the return trip home.
I was attempting to bulk send the novel draft to my Kindle for a read-through and somehow/someway I am missing four chapters. Gone. Attempting to recover if possible.
**Update** Crisis averted after relocating buried chapters.
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. – Aldous Huxley
