Somebody's having a real bad day on a farm.
This is what I have to do because I can't apparently do any real work.
Well, okay, I got a draft of part of my Storytellers Unplugged column. That's something at least.
You know, it's funny. Intellectually, I know that passive learning is important, and if I don't feel like doing something it may be because my brain needs the processing time. It's a pretty good brain, despite its mechanical quirks (I wouldn't want to let anybody but me drive it. It'd leave 'em stranded by the side of the highway with a stripped transmission, seriously) and I expect a lot of it, frankly.
So I know I should forgive myself when I get to the point where I don't want to do anything more useful than poke around on the computer playing with songs and making icons. because stuff is going on in there. Important stuff. And furthermore, I know there are genres where it's considered exhausting! to write a book every three to five years. (I'd go nuts with that little to do. I guess they all have MFAs and are teaching classes over there in lit, though, so it probably keeps them busy while they revise.)
