Decisions, Decisions

I've been feeling as if I'm at a crossroads lately, with decisions to make, an much emotional upheaval, but I simply don't know which road to take (or if the road I should take is even on the map).



Simply put, I can't do everything I have on my plate anymore. So something has to give. Not sure what, yet. I'm poking at things and making lists and trying to decide what things I must do, what things I want to do, and what things are not required or desired.

It's a long list with a lot of considerations and I'm not sure how it's going to shake out. I simply know that I'm tired of working 24/7, tired of feeling guilty if I take off time for myself, and then there's the fact that I'm just plain tired.

And so are the days of my lives.

How do you make big decisions?

You Are Firefox

Many people have tried to tame you, but so far no one has succeeded. You can't be broken. You believe in originality and tolerance. You think the world needs more diversity, not less. You're the perfect combination of uniqueness and quality. You're able to relate to all sorts of people. You have no desire to lead or follow. Anyone is welcome to join you on your journey for a while.

Makes me sound pretty wild and crazy .... ::Rawr::

To Do or Not To Do: NaNoWriMo

Some persons are very decisive when it comes to avoiding decisions. ~Brendan Francis

The question has been posed to me by a few people of late. As the sun starts to wane, and the temperatures drop, minds (at least writers' minds) turn to one thing: NaNoWriMo.

I love NaNo. I do ... and the first three years, I won it. My novel "One Love for Liv" was a NaNoWriMo win. I had another WIP that I loved, and lost when my computer crashed a few years back (:::pauses a moment in loving memory:::). I think NaNo really challenges you to just WRITE. It's like a month long Write Or Die, because, unless you're abnormal, you simply don't have time to go back and edit... it's all about moving forward.

That said, I just don't know if it's realistic to think I can do NaNo this year. School is WAY harder (and DD is needing a LOT more prodding to keep focused), life over at LASR/WC/Aurora is busier than ever, not to mention Goddess Fish. Do I have the time? Or am I setting myself up to fail?

It's a conundrum.

So, my answer for now is: Maybe. And if I do, I might break the rules and work on something I've already started -- I'm leaning toward "A Jewel for Geoff" the "Liv" sequel. I'm not far into it, and it needs a complete overhaul, so it's *like* starting on something new.

Do I want to do NaNo? YES. Will I? I don't know. I hope so. If I do, it's going to require some pretty massive sacrifices on my end, mostly sleep, and more dedication to working hard during every waking hour.

I'm tired already.

When we get a little closer, I'll make a definite decision.

Anyone out there planning on doing NaNo this year? Why or why not?

You Should Eat

It's likely that you've been going through a hard time, and you need to rest and refuel. You could do with some nourishment, and not just the caloric kind. It's time to take care of yourself. You find happiness when you put your own needs first. You deserve the best, and you should be pampered more. Relax, indulge, and allow yourself to feel totally full. You've earned it.

Should You Eat, Pray, or Love?

LOL... I have been hungry for two weeks -- how did they know?
