 |   So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |
Stuck. I can't seem to settle my mind into writing anything. It's not for a lack of ideas, more an over-abundance. Most of all though, the "outside world (also known as reality) is crowding everything else out. A big part of what's going on is my pending retirement, as in 492 days pending (not that I'm counting). Naturally I am looking forward to it. And of course, the is some trepidation. I am looking forward to it, but I also can't help looking back. It's kind of funny and maybe my subconscious at work but over at "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group"  , I created a character to fit into the theme named Janus. I just discovered that I had hidden him away from view! When writing something new I use the "my eyes only option" until I'm finished, and I never released this one to the wild. Here's the short blurb about Janus..."Janus gets his superpower" , in case you'd like to read it.In case you aren't aware, Janus is the two faced god of time, looking forward and back. I'm spending much time doing just that, looking forward and back, enjoying memories and anticipating and worrying about the future. I'm not sure yet what the next steps in my journey will bring or where those steps will take me. I have plans, but we all know the rules about plans and wishes. Long term? I'd like to become a better writer. Realistically, I know I'll never be published, I'd just like to write things that people find interesting and enjoyable. I'd like to be able to ply my trade as a musician with as much facility as I had when I first left college, again, realistically, I know that's going to be tough. In college, I practiced a minimum of two hours every day. Some days I played more than 8 hours in various performing groups. I don't think my 64 year old body could keep up with my 20 year old bodies stamina. I'm still going to try. New Steps in the Same Journey. Closing with this, a new siggy created by the wonderfully talented concrete_angel, one of my favorite authors and reviewers here on WdC, stop wasting your time reading this and go enjoy some of her fine work.  |
