Again? Yes, again.

So people might believe after that last post that I was well on my way to finishing my writing work. Well, here I am again before you- stuck yet again. But maybe I write this utter defeat too soon. After all, I did have homework and outlining that lasted many hours, participated in family eating-out night today, and had my blood drawn early this morning. I don't really know what drawing blood has to do with my writing habits, but I'm sure it has to be related somehow, right? What else would science be for but to justify every one of my points? Anyway, maybe I'm just plain old tired today. It was a rather long day, and I frankly didn't feel that magnificent as far as health goes. Or on the other hand these could just be stupid excuses. I bet a good author would sit her butt down and bang out another chapter or two anyways, no matter what wee hour of the night it took her to. And I can't even say I have to get to bed early because of schooling- my friend is up way later than I do (yes, usually writing or watching some obscure Japanese manga thingy) and she always seems fine.

Anyhow, I think I shall call this period of time my ideas "incubation time." I had that initial spark last week and jotted a few things down. Well now I am incubating my idea until it is fully matured. That's what I'll tell people anyways because, frankly, it sounds much better than saying it's another one of my procrastination spells. Right?

Ah, why does my muse leave me for so long? She's like a sporadic light bulb that isn't quite broken, instead it flickers for a time and then puffs out again. Whenever she puffs out she stays out for a while.

I should just face it and say I need to whoop my own mind into shape and just write already. It would probably help if I stopped writing this post now. Okay... my goal is to write another 200 words tonight. Not a heck of a lot, I know, but I'll take baby steps here. Starting... now!
