I started working on a new sci-fi romance and it's flying. I haven't been in the zone like this in so long. The only problem I have is not wanting to burn out. Sitting for any length of time leaves me headachy, so I'm trying not to overdo. I'm also handwriting then typing later, so it's double the work but sometimes it's the only way to get things done.
This little guy is Sylvester. He's been visiting the yard and my camera was able to take this amazing closeup before he hopped off into the bushes.
I'm thrilled that I haven't spent a lot of time obsessing over a book that isn't going to happen. It's time to let go and cut my losses. This isn't about making other people happy - it's about me being happy. And sometimes you have to make the hard choices. Unfortunately there are things that I can't change that impact my life such as the miserableness of other people. It weighs on me when I have to deal with certain individuals who are just obnoxiously narcissistic and only happy when they're complaining or making some kind of fuss. There's nothing I can do to change it, because in addition to being self-involved joy-suckers these individuals [okay one individual] is also incapable of handling even the smallest criticism. So even a constructive suggestion is met with disdain and drama. I take my frustrations out on the Internet - which is why I still can't stop visiting Yahoo and I know I should.
As they say in Frozen - Let it Go! Let it Go! But it's hard when you know someone needs a good swift kick in their ass and to be told to grow up and get over themselves - but you know that's impossible.
Sigh. So that's the only the only thing ruining my otherwise productive and enjoyable week.
