It's All About Peace

[queenoftheskies]

Amazing what knowing I'm going to give notice tomorrow has done for me. This weekend has been so laid back and relaxed. I feel peace and happiness and hope for the first time in many months.

Today was another day devoted mostly to relaxing. I had to go out once, but, other than that, I e-mailed my sister, took a nap, played several hours of Dragon Quest 8 again, made meatloaf for dinner, and wrote.

Not a huge word count, but nothing to sneeze at either. I really feel like I'm getting back into the flow. It might be slow-going at first, but that's okay as long as it all comes back once the cancerous, energy-leeching job is out of the way.

Not only did I add new words to Illegal Aliens today, but I chose to combine small amounts I'd written on three potential short stories in this segment of the universe with it. I think it adds depth and takes the story in other directions it needed.

The added words came from:

A Matter of Choice 1,234 words

Glass Angel 333 words

Truth or Consequences 771 words

I'm only counting NEW words in my word count totals, though. The others had already been counted elsewhere.

Happiness is...writing. :)

I never believed in that whole miserable artist thing. I find I'm most productive--and have the best quality--when the rest of my life is in good shape. It doesn't have to be perfect to be good.

I'm glad you're finding your peace :)

glad writing is going well.

Actually, I write better when stressed.
