I'm thinking about taking a break. We'll see.
Last Wednesday I watched the movie Twilight. I fell in love with the story. So the next day I bought the book and read it in less than 24 hours. It isn't the most well written book, but it has a great story and fascinating characters. I read the bio on the author of the Twilight Series--Stephanie Meyer. She is a stay at home mom of three and wrote the books while taking the kids to classes, folding laundry, making dinner...my life in all its unglorious details.
It was the kick in the butt that I needed to start writing again. Sometimes I wonder if I am bipolar. For years I was so depressed that I was lethargic. These days, I can't stop doing stuff, I feel manic almost. But I don't think it is supposed to take years to go from one state to the other.
Anyhow, I am having so much fun writing. I have to force myself to go to sleep at 2 sometimes 3 am in the morning. Sam is suffering because I am a zombie in the morning. But I love it. It is hard to balance my fun writing, Savvy writing, personal blog writing, gardening, cooking, cleaning, laundry, picking up the girls, playing with Sam, taking him to classes, watching my trash TV (thank goodness my shows are on hiatus right now), working at PB. Something's gotta give...so I haven't worked out since that 2 week stint--big sacrifice (I can hear Chang laughing in the background as he hands me my Ben n Jerrys).
I doubt it will ever be published but just writing the story that I've wanted to write for sometime now would be a major accomplishment. So if my posting is even more sporadic than before, it is because I am busy writing.
