And by that I don’t mean I can’t concentrate, I mean where the hell are my glasses?

And also,

I just can’t seem to concentrate.

The year is almost half over already and I’ve gotten absolutely nowhere.

I know what the problem has been though. Those damned Evil Ninja Penguins. Those bastards have been hounding my day in and day out. I can’t get a lick of work done because of them. I sit down, all ready to work and boom an Evil Ninja Penguin shows up and hits me with his nun chucks. I manage to fight them off each time, but by the time I have I’ve lost my train of thought and am unable to work.

That and other distractions.

Truth be told, I have some ideas floating around in that big black void between my ears but I just haven’t been able to make myself sit down at the computer long enough to do anything but make a quick note about it. One of the reasons for this is I sit down at the computer and immediately check if she is online… he says hinting at an underlying story which we won’t get into right now…

unfortunately she is the only thing I’m able to focus on at the moment. Which is leaving me in a downer of a mood not conducive to my creative efforts.

I don’t necessarily believe blonde jokes… though I did giggle. But it makes a point about futility. I really think I should just try and forget about… she…. and try to get back to what is achievable… probably…

Writing that novel which future reviewers will call Pure Genius and Amazingly Brilliant.

A Masterpiece.

Not that I’m setting my goals too high or anything.

But it’s time to stop thinking about… unachievable goals… such as she.

Starting… NOW

Okay… now

Now

…

So, that’s the gist of my current dilemma… Too much procrastinating. Too much worrying about the wrong things. Too little sitting down at the computer to actually get work done…. And so on.

There are so many ideas, some absolutely brilliant and exciting ideas but I just haven’t been able to get it together.

I have two current works at the forefront of my mind. One, which I’m sure I’ve mentioned quite a bit in previous entries, my apocalypse. I attempted to complete it at last years NaNoWriMo, but as I reached the 25,000 word mark (Or there-abouts) I realised that it would be much better told in first person than in third omnipotent as I was doing. So I threw it aside to begin again… which I haven’t really done anything about yet.

The other story is a somewhat futuristic/alien world type story about a man whom everyone believes saved the universe and had since died. But he didn’t and he hasn’t. What a twist! At least that’s how it’s looking at the moment. I’m not exactly sure what will happen when I get into it. I really only have plans for the first few chapters thus far.

There are plenty of other ideas all muddled up in there. Some stuff I’ve abandoned for a time, others which are still processing. Some I’m just collecting ideas on. A world or two that have been created but are still looking for a story to tell.

Work work work work. So much time, so little to do. Wait, reverse that.

It’s feeling good to actually be thinking about the work again.

Anyway, I think that’s about it for now. There’s probably more but this was mostly just for ramble and blah-blah-blah’s. So, I’m going to go now. I have plotting to do and a little editing, some attempts at first sentences to get started on… and…

And this made me snigger -
