Horner Nach Unten

Another day off spent in a tired funk. I'm not sure how much of my sleepiness is actual sleepiness, or depression.
  I'm not really depressed. I think I'm just burned out from this job, and physically overworked and stressed at not making enough money.  Also, it's been a bummer not really getting many responses from the applications I've put in all over. I think it's very strange that this time last year when I was job hunting, with a less stellar resume, I had calls from all over the place. This time, its been a trickle.Wtf Syracuse area?
  Remember that novel I was working on earlier this year that I accidentally erased? I think I might pick it up again, and do two at once. The characters are banging around in my head, and it's easier to work on when I'm in a stormy mood.
  Alright, I'm heading downstairs to cook some bacon and make coffee. We're making feta cheese stuffed burgers with bacon (shit, I just remembered I forgot to get mushrooms) for dinner and the coffee is for me. Now. So I can be a little productive.

Writing Mojo Garden

This last week I did a mini experiment, and tried to see if I could stick to the same writing place and continue to be productive. I moved my laptop and writing paraphernalia to the kitchen table, and I had two days of successful page count. By the third day, (it always seems to be the third day) my muse was bored with that location, and I moved back to the couch. The day in the future when I'm blessed with a writing room of my own, I guess I'm going to have to have several writing spots within that room to keep my muse sufficiently entertained. And let's hope that I can keep her within the room. 
 This matter of not being able to stick to one spot for writing used to bother me, but I think I'm mostly resigned to it. It's just not for me, I guess. I've made great strides in maintaining my concentration, and increasing word count, but I guess a stagnant location is not my cup of mojo. 
 So currently, I'm on the couch, quite comfortable, and I have today's scene all planned out. I think I'm going to make a little more coffee, and get to it. I've got about two and a half hours to shape this world before I gotta go do those pesky things called "errands". 
 Happy writing!
