Re-evaluating LJ time.

I'm not sure yet how I'm going to handle this, but I'm working on ways to focus more on writing and RL, and spend less time on Livejournal personal posts.

For the time being I'm going to be locking everything. I might do my first ever f-list trim, I'm not sure, that may be too much of a hassle. But I'm setting aside the habit of posting about every inky-dink personal crisis ("eeek, bad hair day!" etc.) in LJ. That's one way I end up not writing -- and not doing a lot of things, frankly.

I find that just not opening the thing does the trick somedays. Or sitting out the urge to post until the crisis is gone and then everything seems kinda silly to post about. Livejournal sucks life into it. Hmm. Perhaps that is why it is 'live'. Or not.

Goodluck, whatever way you end up going. If you need anything that I can provide (however unlikely it seems) you have my email.

Mostly I'm struggling with Out Of Bounds right now. Two versions of the next chapter and neither is quite gelling. I may contact you once I have something coherent. :)

As for the petty little crisis, yeah. Posting somehow exagerates the problem when I can get through it much more easily by just letting it go. I really don't need to spend the extra energy being a drama queen. *snicker*

When a state of coherency is reached, or even before that, contact at will. It is not like I am precisely busy or anything at the moment. Between the heat and the waiting for March for employment. :)

Aww, but I am sure you look marvellous with the glitter, the sequins and the over the top hand gestures. Flinging items around and.. well. Right. Perhaps better to just let things go.

:P

I love your stories, and I hope you find your inspirations. I also want blame you for my new found obsession with Evan Lysacek.

I'll take the blame for that. I'm enjoying my crush very much at the moment, thank you. ;)

I think this is a wise move. I try not to post about personal life exactly for the same reason (it takes a lot of time that I rather spend writing).

It's comforting at times, but I find it just draws the initial issue out when it could just be... over.

Anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'm all for more writing. *g*

I can't think of anything in particular, but I'll let you know if I do. :D

Sounds good.

Just continue writing about buddhismus, when you like. Please? Those posts of yours belong my favourites.

This, and your adventures in the class of creative writing. ;)
