Torture. (And then, Kitties!)

This has been a torturous week for me.  Because its been a week that I felt like I wasn't able to write.  Oh, sure, there's nothing physically stopping me from writing – I haven't lost a thumb or any such thing, and I'm a dedicated two fingered typist, so I don't really use my thumbs anyway – and of course, I could have carved out an hour or two here and there to help me meet my goals this week.  But the truth is – I didn't have any goals this week.  I look at my desk, and saw the MOUNTAIN of stuff to do and it was too much. Seemingly insurmountable.  And as such, why even bother trying to do it?

And believe me, that feeling of utter incapability is torture.

I write this not to get you, dear reader, down.  I write it to inspire myself.   Often times I forget that to tackle the large projects, I have to break them down into little ones.  Whether it be making dinner for 40 (which I have never done, and making dinner for 2 frightens the hell out of me), or starting work on a couple new projects at once.  I write this to make a clean slate with my muse, promising her that this week will be better, and accomplishment will occur.

And now, to lighten the mood, here's a picture of my friend's new kitten.

Work work work for me this week, but I do want to say thank you to everyone who entered my October Read Down the Pile giveaway!  Next one is Nov 1st, so keep your eyes peeled.   And to everyone (especially the winners of the giveaway) Happy Reading!
