Hmm...Maybe I'm Pleased

[queenoftheskies]

But, I'm not sure. Yet.

Maybe I'll decide tomorrow.

I wrote. That's good.

I'm back to the novels. That's good.

Haven't finished plotting the new stuff. That's NOT good.

Haven't set new goals. That's NOT good.

I thought I was going to be pleased with what I wrote. I had it all in my head like I wanted it. Then...well, too many distractions. I was tired and bad things happened and I was just pulled in too many directions at once and I got depressed.

So, now, I can't tell whether I wrote crap or whether I'll like it and/or can fix it later.

I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I guess it's just the weight of the world making me bleh.

Anyway...

I did two critiques for Quill N Ink today. That's good. Hope to do more tomorrow plus two critiques for Critters. Then, maybe I can finish up with Quill N Ink on...not Wednesday cause my son has a HUGE concert. So, maybe Thursday and then I can get back to OWW reviews.

Internet and fax went out at work today. That was a pain in the butt. Hope it's back tomorrow.

Oh, and for those of you who followed my mutant roach news, I slid a paper under the cup he was imprisoned in before I went home and took him to the toilet for a burial at sea. I didn't think he was going to go down, but after a couple of spins around the bowl, he finally disappeared.

I'm quite glad to be back at work. Now, the next step is to be satisfied with what I write--FOR NOW--and not feel like it's all crap. That would be glorious indeed. And, I might even get stuff finished. :)

I got your note. Thank you so much. You're so sweet.

Cockroaches are nasty creatures. I think they're coming in at work to escape the heat. However, it's a bit cooler today, so I hope for some relief.

Creepy :S

I've only ever seen cockroaches in a zoo (or on TV), which I'm quite grateful for. I did get to hold various types a few moths ago on holiday. The hissing one was amusing, and tickly.

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've heard about those hissing ones! Are they BIG?

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

A few inches, not too massive. It was quite heavy though, and a bit dull. I liked the death's head one best. The hissing one just sat there and, well, hissed (whenever the zoo guy prodded it).

You should be pleased! Any step is a good one. I'm really happy to hear good things :)

I understand the roach problems very well. Luckily my rampaging kitten gets rid of any we have here (although she does leave them in several pieces once they're dead). My old place was a roach breeding ground though! *shudders with bad memories*

Well, I *am* glad to be writing. I just wish I could make myself actually LIKE it. Or, not dislike it. No, that's not even it. I wish I could keep myself from second guessing myself and thinking of all the reasons it COULD be wrong. Does that make any sense at all?

Aren't roaches disgusting? I'm glad they're at work and not at home, though I often fear bringing them home (without knowing it) in my briefcase or my purse. Ick!!!

Cats are wonderful about leaving pieces of things lying around, aren't they? It's always funny to watch them chase bugs. :)

I love watching my little kitty chase bugs. She flies through the air! And she's so accurate! She can hit a bug from twenty paces...:D
