A third journal of personal musings

In response to "Ugh this year"

I think this year has messed everyone up with Covid. Everyone in my house got it, some were asymptomatic, some of us got hit bad. I've had lingering effects now that just makes it so hard to write. Now where I live, we went into complete lockdown last week, the first province in Manitoba to do it for this second wave, and it just so rejecting, but you got to do what you got to do. Keep on trying to write, it will come back to you, you were always an amazing writer.

In response to "Ugh this year"

Yeah, this year has been pretty much a wreck. I have ideas, but no energy or motivation to write beyond blogging. But that's not related to the pandemic for me. University completely sapped my creativity. Too much times spent studying, writing papers, working with spreadsheets, etc.

I thought I'd be able to get my creative writing flow back being at work this year, but then the pandemic happened and even though I'm working from home, I feel totally suffocated after months of just sitting inside. Definitely cabin fever vibes that aren't conducive for motivation.

It does sound like Matt, and likely you too, could've had covid at the beginning of the year. It has pretty much been established that it was widespread by that time, but testing wasn't really a thing then.

I hope you'll find some way to write. I know it sucks to have ideas and not be able to get them out.

- Awesome! I was figuring it was more using your fears in plot related things, so yay!

- I've always loved mythology too! It's been fun to use them in a fun way. I can't wait to get to where I can actually begin writing and implement them! I'm hoping it comes out as good as I have in my head.

Ooh, I love mythology. A fantasy story with mythological undertones sounds super fun to work on.

You are not off at all. In fact, I think your answer rocks. The prompt was asking about fears in relation to writing.

Okay. Any help I can get I'll be appreciative of. Even if all I get is just knowing I have the "voice" right in my story.

It's more focussed on SFI, but I joined also because of the Fantasy genre.

No I'm not! Thank you! I figured we had to have a Fantasy group on here somewhere.

In response to "Out like a Light"

These days in my house, the power goes out, after everything electrical ran out of juice, I'd have 4 kids complaining, extremely large data bills. In my old apartment our power would randomly go off all day, usually when it was hot as hell and there was nothing we could do but wait it out. We knew it would happen to, it was a given something would happen to the transformer on the block least a couple of times in the summer. Was Never prepared, one flashlight, maybe a couple of candles. Now we got flashlights, candles, tons of batteries, always cases of drinks and water kicking around, in a big house, never a power problem. Had a huge ice storm last fall, took down trees, power lines, all around us people lost power, not my block lol. Karma is kind of funny these days...

Man, I need to do more for myself.

Write about the last time you did something nice for yourself.

Man, it's been awhile. There's a few things I was going to toss up, like buying a new laptop or clothes, but I just really needed them and had been putting them off for so long that it was just necessary. I'd love a massage or do something to my hair, but with the Covid going around, I'm not going to for awhile.

I mean, I guess treating myself to lunch? But I do that often enough, a couple of times a month, tho less than that now because of Covid, that I don't know if that qualifies?

Man. I had to have done something nice for myself?

I suppose I could mention that I bought myself plants. We have a bare spot out in front of our apartment. Bushes used to grow there, but I think thanks to dog's urinating on them, they died and were removed. Nothing has been planted and so I decided, last year, to plant some bulbs. They were probably garbage ones, because they never grew and when I bought plants this year, I couldn't even find them in the dirt.

Anyway, I planted a peony bush and a white azalea bush. The peony bush I bought mostly because it was one of my mom's favorite bushes and something that just made me happy to think about. I also think they're beautiful in their delicateness. It's been fun for me to watch them grow and I look forward to planting them when Matt and I get our own place. I park in front of them when I get home from work or whatever and they make me happy when I look at them. So, a couple of months ago then, I did something nice for myself.
