Yesterday was for crap as far as writing. My brain just refused to deal with reality, logic and anything to do with forward progress in my life on any front but cleaning a bit and staring blankly at computer games.

I hate when that happens.

My sister Darlene tells me that since my moon sign is in Capricorn I was deeply affected by the glory that was a full lunar face (more or less) shining brightly over my (and the rest of the western worlds) hovel.

Huh.

So, after having my bi-weekly chat with the aforementioned sibling, I’ve decided that I’m going to take a brief break from writing about the Earth and try to address the incipient romance novel that’s been cheeping quietly in the background.

I realize that trying to do two projects is not the best idea for a wannabe author, but I need time to process all the information I’ve gathered, as well as figure out the timeline in terms of which extinction affected the future of all life as we know it, when.

Meanwhile I’ve got at least a ream of paper already covered in thousands of words that need to be incorporated into one manuscript and the whole thing has begun to overwhelm me, thus the decision to take a short break.

I don’t anticipate that it will be longer than a few days. Last time I had this type of… block, if you will, Earth kept bugging me until I relented (threatening to open up a gaping hole under my car is a great incentive).

So, that’s where I am at the moment.

More to come, without a doubt.
