Not a decent title, but I couldn’t think of anything else. Just not in the mood to be very witty or even that social. Still, I need to keep things moving and maybe this post will be a little cathartic.
I finished the edits on Book 13 and 2 of the 3 Charms of the Feykin blurbs. Taking a break on the last one because I don’t want to copy the other two. Sales have been going if I look at the number line, but not really if I look at the numbers. So I’m not really sure where the sales are happening or which books unless I take a while to check each one. I don’t have the patience and mood for that. You know, there should be a rule that one doesn’t blog when in certain mental states. Not angry though because entertaining rants can come from that.
The kid has 2 full days, 2 half-days, and then an hour of school over the course of the week and then a whole week off. So I won’t be tackling any big projects. To be honest, I don’t have the urge to do much. I was thinking of outlining a future story during the ‘me’ times and then write a novel while he has summer school. As it stands, I don’t really want to do anything. Not even TV and we’re heading into a conversation that I shouldn’t have on here, so skip to next paragraph.
I’ve been putting a lot of attention on Twitter and was considering switching that up a little bit. Instead of a tweet every 3 hours with retweets in-between, I pin a new tweet every morning and retweet throughout the day. This takes some pressure off me to retweet between tweets. The only downside is that it means my tweet won’t be in followers’ feeds for very long or get revivals. Still, it doesn’t hurt to see how this goes. Beats driving myself nuts on Hootsuite and I don’t have a day where I forget to tweet at all.
This week did see two big events for the kid. He was chosen to read part of a poem during his school’s Flag Day celebration, which was taped and I put on my FB page. It’s friends only though because I have family members who go berserk if I make anything with him public. The other event was Thursday night when we went to the nearby Children’s Museum. He had done some art at a workshop about De Kooning and all of the participants had their pieces put on the wall. It was a lot of fun and he was very proud, so those events were good. Though, he seemed a bit happier about getting new shoes that light up when he walks.
Honestly, I can’t think of any goals for the week. Just not able to get the motivation and inspiration going. Heck, I couldn’t even bother to search for a video and took my ‘not in the mood’ standby. So, we’ll play it day by day. Maybe I’ll work on an outline or maybe I’ll spend all week staring at the ceiling fan. Only time will tell.

The fan can be fascinating. If you blink at the right time sequence you can make it appear to stand still. 🙂

I’ll have to try that. I always just stare until it looks like it’s growing and shrinking.

Try to stop it. Might take hours. Once you get it to stop then try to get it ti reverse, (Real hard blinking required)

Ceiling fans can be fun. I’m babysitting the one-year-old while the family takes in Lego Land. She’s been pretty good. Took a four hour nap. Pity mama tonight.

Future ouch. Still, I think it’s all fair in babysitting.

Sort of the same right now but instead of the ceiling fan I have the reflections in the glass door of the kitchen.

Lack a surface like that, which won’t put me in the middle of family. Might just watch TV for the whole week until this mood passes.

Sounds like your son has a creative soul and you are nurturing that part of him. Right on. My parents gave me unconditional love, and I believe that’s the greatest gift a parent can give a child. It’s helped me to be a fearless woman in an unkind world. Happy Father’s Day, and keep writing. Peace.

I’m trying. It’s really hard to get him to focus because of how he is and he’ll get stuck on one thing. The creativity is what helps me keep him going, so I’m glad he’s getting into that area.

Aww. So cool that your son was able to read his own poem and participate in that art show (and get some new light up shoes).
Sigh. It’s hard isn’t it to get the motivation sometimes? Some days I wind up staring at the ceiling fan too.

Sorry. I should have said that it wasn’t his own poem. It was something chosen by his teachers. I’ve never had this much trouble with the motivation, so it’s new territory. Just don’t feel like creating right now.
