Soft Dawn

Morning. It's a nice, peaceful morning. I've had smooch sessions with both of my fur babies, and they're now sprawled out at my feet.
I've received some questions about my writing schedule and writing studio.It's such a funny commonality  with writers- we always want to know about other writers' habits, how they get their books written, where they do the writing at, what their studio looks like, etc. I am no exception- I fucking LOVE that shit.

 During the week, I get up around 4:45 AM (okay, I'm giving myself too much credit here- I set my alarm for 4:45. The snooze button gets puts to work once or twice :D ) I immediately hit the coffee machine Go! button and while it's brewing I cuddle my fur babies.
  I set my laptop on my dining room table and open up the sliding glass door curtains. The house is still shrouded in a half-light around that time, and it probably sounds strange, but I love the dawn low light- to me, it feels like a magical half-an-hour or so.
 On the weekends, I usually get some writing done in the morning sitting on the couch (again, with the requisite cat on my lap). If I'm in the groove, I might get as much as three hours done.
  As much as I've fought it over the years, the morning is my best time for writing. It's not seven pm when my brain is shot after work.
  *sigh* And speaking of work.....

Fighting Adulthood

Today is one of those days where I spend the whole day telling myself, "Bitch, build a bridge and get over it. Seriously." I wish I had my own private stage and sound system, where I could blast beats and just dance all my angst out.
  I had a shitty day at work yesterday, and I am looking for something better (I knew from the get-go it was only temporary) yet at the same time, the idea of working full-time .....does not appeal to me. There. I said it. Yes, a former stripper that balks at the idea of full-time work, what do you know? What do you people expect when I used to make a month's salary in about a 14-hour time span? You would feel the same way!
It's not the work itself, I'm not a lazy person. However, a full-time schedule takes up so much of your life, ugh. That's what I do not like, having to save up your own fun until the weekend. 
  I have to put my 15-year old cat down this weekend. This issue has been weighing on me for some time now, and it sucks. He's not the first cat I've said goodbye to, and I've only had him since 2008, but he was with me during some very tumultuous and evolutionary times in my life. I hate losing pets, it hurts so much :(((  
  Thank you Blogger, for providing your therapy through writing. And you, dear readers, for being an audience for my bitching.
