Another day of no writing… seems to be when I work, I need a day off. I also started getting a headache but was easily able to manage it with medication today.
I’m very tired and have had quite the emotional day which did nothing for the writing. I felt very adrift… just kind of wanting to hang, to chill and I did pick up my manuscript and flipped open the cover of the binder only to realize I hadn’t grabbed a pencil and asked myself if I wanted to dive into that right now.
Other emotions surfaced throughout the day. Frustration and anger top the list among others to the point of tears and feel like I’d feel better if I just had a good cry.
It feels like I’m back to being that ship out on the ocean, wandering aimlessly being tossed about, getting lost and being broken with no idea which way to turn the wheel and no idea what’s coming next if the storm will worsen or if it will settle.
I miss having my usual someone to talk to, joke with and tease. It’s been a long time since that has happened and the feelings are building and I feel like I’m going to burst open with the emotions that exist in turmoil.
So, another day on the winding path of a writer who has only written these 247 words today. Perhaps tomorrow will be much more engaging; much more productive.
Until then…
