Writer on Hiatus
Topic: WC - Daily Practice
Friday 13Apr07 5:17pm

I'm spent. I've done about 2 hours of writing so far this week and I actually decided I might just need to take a break. Give my mind a vacation or more like it, refocus my thoughts. What do I want? How can I adjust my efforts? How do I find balance? What do I need to do for myself? What do I do next?
It's kind of like sweating out a cold. I've got to stop and spend the time to focus on what ails me in order to cure it or me or whatever...

So that's why I've been quiet. I've started the major spring cleaning in my apartment and am slowly going through all my stuff to see what I can purge. Have decided to let go of my vinyl because Lord knows if I'll ever get another turntable (not like I have room for one).

I want to make room for a meditation area in my apartment so I need to move stuff around and pack some shit and all that. I really need to get back to a regular meditation practice to soothe my weary emotions.

I've made dates to get out more and went out a few times this week as well. Need to balance in a social life because it's gotten beyond pathetic and I actually have a lot of friends. Said my last goodbyes to Lolo last night as she leaves for Korea in two more sleeps. I had lunch with a friend I haven't seen in ten years since she was living in Japan and she'll be joining my breakfast buddy and I on Sunday for our weekly. I've got plans tomorrow night, I've got plans a couple nights next week. And I still have to call Ant and touch base and make plans with him. I've got shit to do.

But I'll still be here. Just had to take a break from being all writing and nothing else...
