Keeping Busy

Well my cycles of insanity is definitely winding up. Little by little, I see it. Concentration failing. Clarity of thought waning. Twitches and temper. All adds up to one thing.

I’m not complaining. So far this cycle has been good – on the scale of things. Still think I’m safe to drive, so that’s something.

And while I am reaching the state of needing distraction more and more – silly on-line games and lots of movies -  I also have the escape into my ‘work’.

With the edits on the second novel – now one third finished – and the writing of the short story, I have ways to make myself feel I’m accomplishing things.

My work on the fourth novel – besides the one early scene – has become, for the most part, not written but cerebral. Research and thinking through the issue I made myself when I said they had control of the ‘three unnatural elements’. I think I almost have figured out what those three things are – when I have them I can dive into the actual writing of the story.

Theoretically I could anyway and just go back and insert that bit when it’s needed – which is, in a way, what I am doing with the short story – but I think I will hold off just a bit longer.

So I write, I watch TV, I edit, and apparently I blog.

I keep busy so the symptoms don’t overwhelm me.
