Bidding a fond adieu to some lovely phrases and sentences

Ugh! I decided I would, in fact, throw those 4000 words out. They're spread out over 3 stories but the loss is still felt keenly. Several thousand of those words made up a whole story but it was headed in a direction that I couldn't bear for it to head so I decided to scrap the whole thing. I guess I could use the words and put a different spin on them and come up with a different kind of story but I don't think it would be one I would like to read so I'm not going to put it out there for others to read. Nuff said.

Wrote out several pages in my journal at lunch that could be a start to my Mauraders Big Bang. Was too lazy to pull out the computer. Oh well. I think I may keep going in the notebook with this idea just to see where it heads. Will most likely modify it anyway.

Sometimes getting Tweets on my phone is a little overwhelming so am trying to figure out who makes the new cut. It's DEPRESSING to hear my phone going off at work (the buzz carries if I forget and lay my bag up against the chair in the office) and not be able to pick it up. This just means that I get off work and end up with 70 tweets. The times I could handle that many coming in are the times that no one is tweeting. Go figure!

Handed over what I have in the way of my Jossverse Big Bang to the wonderful artist who will be drawing me something. Most get back on the trail of the ending. That is part of the word count that I got rid of today. That last verse was BORING and wasn't DOING anything for the story. Must get the rest of what I have to my lovely betas. *flutters her eyelashes at them*

I have lost some of my writing drive. That is not a good thing. Not the muse, mind you. She is busy cranking out stories left and right up in her little penthouse at the top of my brain. No, I can't seem to find the energy to write them out. That is just pure laziness on my part... and the fact that I downloaded new games recently doesn't help either! Part of it is knowing that I have these HUGE stories looming over me and I really need to work on revision but part of it is that I wrote OVER THIRTY FREAKING THOUSAND WORDS in January and they weren't NaNo type words. They weren't crap. For the most part, they went somewhere and had ends and meant something to someone. Writing that Jossverse story in one month was not smart. I surely hope that I don't put off some of these other projects I have coming up! That would suck to redo this sort of tired.

Part of the tired is that I'm not sleeping. It's just that simple. For instance, last night instead of turning off the computer and the TV and getting into bed at 10:30 when I was tired, I pushed forward and finally gave up at MIDNIGHT. Still took me 40 minutes after that to actually make it there. Not good! My willpower is SHOT right now.

This will be the year I make the change to finding my place in this world.
