amalthiaI have this theory that I actually have more time in the evenings if I don't go exercising. I'm being horribly lazy this week. :( Next week I'll have to get back on the treadmill again and keep at it. The prospect of trying to lose weight does not appeal...it's hard enough just to maintain.
In other news, I'm re-thinking my Harry Potter story that's one part away from completion.(which is about another 50 pages) I already kind of know what's supposed to happen at the end but honestly I had a year where I didn't work and I wasn't able to finish the story then, not sure I'll be able to finish it now. I really should have stuck to my guns, finished writing the story, then posted it. Because once I started getting feedback, both positive and negative, I felt paralyzed on writing any more. I'm not sure how other authors are able to write and finish WIP...but wow more power to them.
I also have a few other plot bunnies for SGA...while I was stuck in traffic this morning I had plenty of time to think, and I realized that while I love SGA fandom the types of stories I love to read aren't really getting posted in this fandom. So either I need to move onto to something new (okay already inched into Supernatural) or start writing what I want to read. I'm noticing lately that while I can appreciate the writing skills of most authors I'm reading, not many stories are hitting me where it really counts. That's not to say I'm not enjoying the stories, it's just I haven't found another Time in the Bottle or Geeks and Goons series. Basically I haven't updated my master rec list probably since I started working because I'm not finding any stories that reach me on that level for some time. Not sure if I'm losing gradual interest due to overkill or if all the great stories have been told and there's no more to say? Maybe it's due to the show kind of confusing fans everywhere. Or maybe there really haven't been any stories that produce the kind of reaction Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose.
Of course none of this is going to happen until we get new desks at work and chairs to go with them. I just took a 2/3 hour break from the computer while reading a book and so i'm able to check my LJ but don't feel motivated to do much beyond typing this post and maybe reading another story before going to bed. or start the next book in the series I'm reading. In any case, going to have to do some more thinking and then take some form of action. I do have a laptop. I can sit on the couch with it on my lap and write.
I measured my waist tonight, it's at 29 inches edging rather close to 30. :( I really can't afford to skip going to the gym and I think one of these weekends I'd like to go to a skating rink.
