Yes, definitely. And why? Because an old college roommate of mine has just gotten her first book published and I'm jealous. I'm really happy for her of course, but I'm thinking my own book will never get published and that makes me sad. Oh, and yes I have been working on it, so it will get done eventually, but I guess I'm just sad that I haven't accomplished anything I thought I would have by this age. Publishing was at the top of the list, along with being in a real career, not just a get-by-for-now job. Of course what would be really awesome is if writing full time could BE that career...
Okay, the real reason for the melancholy? I worked tons of overtime this last week and didn't have time for anything fun -- or productive. (I finally got some time yesterday and I did manage to start a new dragon. I think he's going to be really cute.) AND, I haven't started reading the BOM like I was going to, either. I feel like a turtle myself, pulling head back into my shell when church is even mentioned, just pretending it will go away. I'm going to have to start sometime, though... especially since I doubt I can get any of the rest (lose weight, sell my book or my creations) done if I don't get my spirit back into alignment. I'm all out of wack right now and I'm afraid realignment will hurt which is the reason for hiding in the shell. Sheesh. Get it together, girl! Enough with the pity-party. Boooorrrring. Back to work!
