Kyrre's Entries - 24.10.2002

I'm cold

Work is slow thanks to our system needing time to think.

Don't know if I go to the gym today. Thanks to my cold I feel slightly uncomfortable today. Phoned the technical firm to arrange a time and date for fixing the heater. Probably next week at the earliest. :(

Will now go and get me hot tea. I need it.

Itching fingers

With November only one week away NaNoWriMo entries seem to dominate many journals. My fingers itch wheneverI read one of them. But honestly, even if I had my vacation in the next month, it would be hard for me, very hard. I'm a slow writer and thousand words a day are extraordinary and usually only during weekend or another free day possible.

Besides work I consider it impossible for me. Still, I want to break my non-writing, I want to feel again like during the July/August Dare when I surprised myself and was accomplishing something.

At the moment I try to collect ideas and when I look closer at them they dissolve between my fingers. Very frustrating. I suspect I'm lacking the inner calm to work them out into plots.

Mood: thoughtful

Sometimes you have to pamper yourself. So I cooked dinner, laid the table forme in the living room and lit a candle. Dinner was delicious. :)

Afterwards I called my parents and talked with them quite a long time. Got the advice, twice, to go to bed early. Yes, I will, as soon as I have downloaded jmtorres' Rhade vid. My poor dial-up connection does its best. And then, after a first look at it, I will go to bed and read something or maybe even write. For sleeping it's far too early.
