Saturday morning

[openscarf]

Headache on Saturday morning seems cruel.  Still did yoga though.  Have a lot I want to do today, all in the warm cozy confines of home. 

1. Pay bills
2.  Laundry (basement)
3.  Pedicure
4.  Write something
5.  Make tabouli in my new food processor
6.  Do one of the yoga download practices
7. Watch 'The Visitor' tonight

I love your determination. I make lists, then don't follow through. I'm impressed with your practice of yoga. I really need to get back to it. And tabouli - I'm impressed. What are you writing? I make stabs at it. Hope to accomplish a novel.

thanks-I actually wrote this after I read your entry and was going to comment on yours, it's a tad tongue in cheek-I mean honestly, how boring am I today?? I'm oozing with envy about your 2 nights out, looking forward to updates.

I find if I don't make a list, I'll end up doing nothing and get very depressed and anxious by nighttime. I'm like a broken record about yoga, it really saves me. There is the fitness you achieve, but all the internal benefits and mind and body connection do change my perspective...

I have writer's block. I've been lurking on a few sites here, Bridget's Flame-that's how I started reading yours, and Line by Line. I'm waiting for the manifesto from Bridget's Flame before I jump in. I don't get it yet.

So I write little snippets and poems, but I'm trying to get away from poems, for some reason, they don't seem to mean as much to me as prose. Very conflicted.

thoughts? :-)

Brigit's Flame has really helped me get past the writer's black. I still find I need the prompts, though, to make me write. But I feel good about what I've managed to create for the most part. Please sign up for February - you've got until Monday. If you're not sure what to do, let me know.

I struggle with feelings of inferiority about my writing. I know I write well, but then I read other people's things and then. . . I alwo want it to be "perfect," which holds me back. I understand about the poetry thing. I wrote a lot of it when I was young, but prose fits me better now and I can use creative imagery in that. I tried to do NaNoMo in November, but failed miserably. Too MUCH pressure.

I'm going to start getting ready for tonight. I'm just planning on enjoying myself for whatever the evening brings.
