Good Vs Evil (Homer Simpson)
Barely a peep
From the Internet this week
So quiet
Makes me want to start a riot
Did I get work done?
Did I manage to have some fun?
I didn’t really take account
Felt like the usual amount
Perhaps I’m getting lazy
My thoughts have been a little hazy
It’s hard to post every day
Especially now that I behave
Did that really rhyme?
It does for me this time
Today I get some air
Feel cold upon what’s left of my hair
I wish to return in good cheer
This week has taken its toll, I fear
I have no idea why I picked the Homer Simpson picture. Anyway, I’ve had a crappy week with my plans constantly falling through. I’ll go into it more during my goal post tomorrow. Things have been quiet. My blog, my sales, my mind, my energy, and nearly everything else. The toddler has been the most active. I wonder if I’ve fallen into a rut with this blog even though I enjoy every post I write. I should probably save that for tomorrow. Well, I’m off to see if I can bike with a massive head cold. Looks like I did get that disease I was joking about this week, Ionia and Greg. Advil is my friend.

Aww.. sorry you’ve not had a great week Charles and I guess the cold really doesn’t help. Perhaps the bike will sweat it out!??!! I think that we all have peaks and troughs of weeks – I hope that the next one is better for you. 🙂

This was a trough that broke the Earth’s crust and then tried to bury me. At least mentally and emotionally. Next week has no real plan since it’s just writing, promoting, and I’m petitioning to make Valentine’s Day a family one this year. The bike might not happen until the afternoon when I get the house to myself.

Me too. Just want this one to be over. I swear I’m done leaving the house.

Sigh. I’m sorry your week wasn’t great. I hope this coming week will be better. I can relate to the trough. It’s been that way for me this week.

This week should be better. The coming storm seems to have shifted direction and all I have planned is book writing since the following week is Winter Break for the munchkin. I’ll have to stock up on cupcakes.

When you asked for quiet, you forgot to specify in terms of sound, not sales and related activity. Murphy and his law will take advantage every time. Hopefully, it’s just one of those valleys and you can look forward to a hill to follow it, sooner rather than later, if possible.

I know. Serves me right for not being specific. I’m tempted to write a post for tonight about the inherent paranoia in being an Indie Author. I ranted to Ionia about yesterday, but maybe it’ll be an interesting post now that I’m saner.

Thanks. If tomorrow’s bad then I’ll say it starts on Monday. 😀

Okay, but then if Monday is bad, can we just redo Sunday? 😉

Personally…I think the problem is called Mid-Winter Blues…nice poem…I got this as a daily digest and I just realized that I’ve read your more recent posts before this one…so it’s kind of like traveling in time…I read above in a comment that you “may” write a post on the paranoia of Indie Author…and I’m here in your past to tell you oh author do so as you did and it was a great post. 😉

I never tried the digest thing. I get posts when they show up, which might be more busy than I need. The Mid-Winter Blues sounds close. It was a really messy week too, which didn’t help.

I’m drying different ways to get the notifications. In the end this isn’t so bad, using the reader is sometimes a problem as it happens I keep getting the same post over and over again. The instant notifications means I’d have to be there to pick them up as they come in…not possible so they build up something fierce and then there are people (like me at times) who post a lot of stuff and I can’t keep up with them… Mid-Winter Blues are the pits

My reader is a mess, so I haven’t looked at it in months. Eventually it becomes too much since I have so many other things to do.
LikeLike
yes, that’s the problem. I hate not being able to read other people’s work, but sometimes I just can’t keep up and live my life too. And the reader is pretty hit and miss, can’t say why it used to work pretty well.

Less blogs for it to handle? Sadly, priorities have to change as your followed blogs increase.

Could very well be. I would have thought it’s just publish as people post…but then I get something like the same post over 20 times…maddening!

That’s strange. Are those all reblogs?
