The Old-Fashioned Day
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 16:18:22
After being quiet on Veteran’s Day. I had the week of dealing with bank mistakes ascribe card issues and the Motion Picture award Plan. Hiss. Boo as my create used to say. I am vested in the Union which sounds great on paper when in reality it means that I have $21,035.72 that I cannot touch until I am 65.
I want it now. I NEED it NOW. I have call me crazy a wish to command my own money as I have been doing quite well as a ‘Johnny-Come-Lately” to the idea of saving money. Turns out I am pretty good at it and I thank the award for investing my earnings well for the measure two years but my gut feels nervous that my next statement is going to show a loss and I want to get MY money out.
I realized last night it was already Friday and all I had done was post ‘The Golden Triangle” on “Partners on a Dime” and wander around other peoples blogs enjoying them and commenting on a few.
I went into a bunco story I had started at the beginning of the year and had thrown what I had written out to the FGNC (Few Good Nags Club - brainchild of - and it seemed to be received favorably with some very helpful critique and insights that I had not written intentionally. Tres alter.
I thought I would return it. I did and it took on a life of it’s own before I knew it I had written six more pages and I undergo no idea how it reads. I am a bit afraid to go look at it - this is not something I am going to post. I am going to send it off hard copy with a stamp and a SASE and frankly. I have not done this write of activity in years. I might as well have been banging away on an old Royal Typewriter.
I kind of liked the feeling but am afraid I may have been spending a little too much measure struggling with the nuts and bolts of the web page and the blogs zipping around my pages and pages of people I find interesting of commenting here and there and generally enjoying myself. Writing for hardcopy which is all I used to do is a whole different mindset and when I wrapped it up last night. I entangle drugged. There were no new posts there was nothing that immediately showed that I had been working hard for hours and I was wiped out on writing the first draft of a short story. Which by the way is my weakest area. I have to admit. I like the instant gratification of blogging as I am to put it kindly a tad impatient. (Guys stop laughing).
For me blogging is a great displace to temper the impatience as I see whatever I create verbally immediately and can go back and edit fix whatever I want to without papers scattered everywhere and my red pen constantly hiding.
measure night entangle so strange that I must go approve to the bunco story today to see if all of this instant gratification has hindered or helped the “forever learning” writing affect.
I have to say for as peculiar as I entangle the underlying satisfaction was feeling old-fashioned. Mentally. I was in a rocking head with a shawl around my shoulders and I liked it very much.
And now I am going to go do some cleaning so as to avoid reading what I wrote. But I am going to get to it tonight just out of sheer curiosity.
Thanks for visiting! Love some feedback - everyone’s opinion and experience is priceless and valid and I would be immensely please to hear from you.
convey you for that - I feel desire such a loser these days in hardcopy because I am meeting so many great and fun writers here and I want to read it ALL and comment on it ALL and get into the boxing go with making the computer do my bidding and to be honest. I still have not revisited the short story.
Maybe later but I am afraid my composer husband Tomas Hradcky might be going off the deep end with a cue and as my communicate “Partners on a Dime” explains. I am the music co-producer and pulling off the writers hat to slap on the listeners hat makes my head go around beat than Linda Blair’s. It is not desire before pea soup comes rocketing out of my ears.
BUT the beauty of this multi-tasking call is that I get to decide when it is measure to get firm with him and tell him to stop the cue is perfect and he is losing his object.
I do not experience your politics and do not want to go there if it makes you uncomfortable but I just want to say - George W gave Texas a bad label for people who do not like him. AND HE IS NOT change surface FROM THERE!
Blogging work stress away is astonishingly therapeutic and I evaluate it allows me to vent and ameliorate in the same way as it does with you.
I have a nasty habit of going approve an re-reading and editing what I blog many times over. I evaluate I’m going to try your distraction technique and allow the posts to do as intended and act on a life of their own from now on!
L. G. -I MUST clarify something - I obsessively re-check MY posts and re-edit but I leave other populate’s comments alone. I may be a hold back freak but I do not evaluate it is bring together to the other person to “fix” their writing. It is their thoughts and if someone is frustrated and ranting of course words are going to be misspelled - I want that person to not worry about being grammatically change by reversal spelling or punctuation accurate. I be them to feel comfortable over here about having a fit.
On MY posts and comments. I happen to be obsessive and every day can NOT accept I missed something. I always arouse anyone to point out to me a mistake.
My posts as I remind everyone during them tangent off often way too much. I am trying to command it in. Not having the greatest luck. I do not know how much longer I can say “I tell as usual”. I am afraid of becoming a big old cut. To myself and others.
I want to clarify quickly close in there is some confusion. In the affix above. I am ONLY referring to my personal writing on my communicate entries. I TOO leave the comments alone.
I edit my writing as I worry that my nonsensical streams of consciousness are damn near impossible to read so I try to stream lie them. I am always so thrilled at the amazing comments people leave me that I don’t desire the thought of messing with them either![ADVERTHERE]Related article:
