It has come to my attention that this journal is hideously boring for anyone not me. I mean, all I do is dive into these boring details of my day, which will be great in helping me remember stuff, but isn't particularly interesting to read. Not, I suppose, that it has to be. After all, it's my journal and it can serve whatever purpose I wish, but still...

I'm in a strange mood today. Somewhere between depressive apathy and introspective. This isn't likely to help me get my bibliography project done, nor any writing. However, it may help me come up with a story idea. Questioning reality and the seeming lack of sense in the universe often does. Then I just need to find the energy to write.

Today, I have the energy, strangely enough, but nothing I want to write. So, again the mood may help. On the other hand, this is an incredibly frustrating place to be.

Ever just feel like a low watt bulb? That's where I've been today emotionally. Fortunately, there have been a few power surges. This means I got some writing done and managed to finish the primary sources section of my bibliography project. Woo hoo! Now I'm making cookies before the bulb burns out entirely. I'm hoping the sugar rush will see me through the rest of the day.

I started a new story, which was the last thing I needed to do since I have three that really need attention. However, only one of them is going anywhere and I am stuck on the ending. The others bore me, and I'm writing them. That so does not bode well for salability even if I could finish them. I'll probably scrap what I have, consider salvaging the ideas, and start all over.

But, first, COOKIES!!!!

*************************************************

Woo hoo! Lots of writing done today. I finished one (short) story. It's just over 1000 words, and it will probably grow in revision, but the first draft is done. Plus, I wrote 648 words of one new story and 200 on another. Now if I could just find a damn ending for the story I have been seriously working on I'd be all set. But, hey, I wrote about 1000 words altogether today, and for me that is something to be proud of.

Now, I am going to bed.
