It has been a day. I'm not really sure I can say much more than that.

I'm not really sure what is wrong with me today, but I just feel a bit in the dumps. Not depressed, not sad, certainly not bored, just plain not really all here.

And it's not like I had a thrilling or exhausting day. I made a few phone class to get addresses for people I want to write while at Clarion, I read a bit. I now have two stories left to read in TERMINAL VISIONS. Not a whole lot of anything really.

Maybe that's the problem. I think I'll try going for a walk or something.

In the meantime, I have been mulling over revision possibilities for the Death story. There's a few things I really want to clean up in it, but I seem to have developed an aversion to my laptop. On some level I seem to have convinced myself that I have to shore up all my energy against the Clarion experience. This is something I really need to get over. If I don't have enough ideas to get my through six stories, I'm never going to make it as a professional writer.

Well, I'll get there. For right now I think mostly I just need to breath deeply, relax, and focus on making it to Clarion, much less through it.

Bye for now, all.
