 Tomorrow, for the first time in WEEKS, I am going to have the house to myself for a couple of hours. And I am going to WRITE!!

I'm so burnt out lately that I've barely even done anything for fandom_stocking and I feel horribly guilty about it, so. Also I'm signed up for a couple of exchanges, and there's the small detail of the neverending second draft of that novel...


...okay, so there's a better than average chance that I'm going to actually just spend three quarters of the day in bed. Which would also probably be beneficial. Winter is so awful for my brain, and the worst part is that we're not even getting snow; it's just soggy and brown and miserable here. We had a thunderstorm today. A thunderstorm. In Upstate NY. In January. What the fuck.

I am cheering you on. Whether you write or rest (or even manage BOTH omg) getting some time for yourself is a victory!

My mom was over and she got up early with the kids, so I got to sleep in until almost 8, WHICH WAS VERY EXCITING. And I did get to write!

God, the visceral satisfaction of time alone - I feel that.

I think I might try and write a few treats for Fandom Stocking.

Wheee! Whether you spend the day recharging or writing (both of which are equally necessary, I think) I hope you enjoy it. <3

[glorious_spoon]

<3!

I did manage to do a little bit of both! I've been trawling the 'underappreciated stockings' posts to see if anything there sparks my interest, so hopefully something positive will come out of it.

Spending a day in bed sounds fantastic, and probably very good for you. Unless you get worked up about not writing? But whatever you do I hope it's a fun day :)

Rest and getting stuff done? At the same time!

I like to turn the bed warmer on, pile up blankets and pillows until I have a warm nest, gather dried fruit and a thermos of hot tea to the bedside table, and then crawl into bed and peek my nose and hands out so I can make story notes in Google docs from my phone. There's an app for that now. It's great.

oh, this is a fantastic idea.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do! If it makes you feel any better, there was some thunder in southwestern CT last night as well. I should also do things for Fandom stocking, if I can find time around all the other stuff and parents

There was thunder EVERYWHERE, it seems like. And now it's like 10 degrees out. WHAT EVEN IS WEATHER
