Roller Coaster Week

It's still a bit before November 1st, but the day is fast approaching. My main reason for posting before hand is to pimp my stuff. I just had another flash fiction story posted at 365 Tomorrows. If you catch this post today it's here http://www.365tomorrows.com/ There is a new story each day so after today it'll be in the archives for Oct 30th 2009.

My emotions have been very strange this week. Monday I wasn't feeling well and when something went wrong at work, I bawled. Not drop a tear or two, but bawled. Then I bawled at least twice more when I got home. Stupid. Tuesday was only slightly better. I think I only cried once that day. Wednesday was a pretty neutral day. I was alone at work but it was still grand central station so the work I was hoping to get done that day didn't go like planned. No surprise there. I don't even know what I did in the evening. Then yesterday a customer service representative said something that was funny but not hilarious and yet I couldn't stop giggling. I got control of myself for the rest of the call but that kind of stuck with me. Plus I was really excited that I wrote a story for Laurence Simon's 100 Word Story Challenge he has every week. I used to be a regular and then dropped it all together. I'm sure it's been over a year since I submitted anything. I had it all planned out and was very excited to be creating again. That night I actually worked on the Timeline for my NaNoWriMo novel. I actually did something useful with my time. Another shocker. On top of that, I recorded my 100WS and submitted it. This put me in bed later then I wanted to be but at least it was done. Hubby was already in bed and woke up from my arrival and then the giggling started again. I couldn't stop. It was so bad I thought I was going to have to sleep in another room so he could get some sleep. So silly. I didn't even have good reasons to be laughing but I was. It usually doesn't take much for me to laugh but things have been a bit more blah or depressing in my life with the stress of work so I don't feel like I do it as often as I should.

I have learned...no, I probably already knew this so I have confirmed that I love being creative. When I created a dance to use for audition, I was so excited and obsessed with it. It filled my mind with such joy. The same has happened with the writing. Even something as simple as 100 words got me excited. Well, it was the writing and the planning for the recording. It's all parts to one big artistic piece and I think it turned out pretty well. I'll never be happy with what I do but you have to finally give in and just throw out there what you have. Once it's out there, you can't really stop it.

That's it for now. I'll be back on Nov. 1st. I'm going to go play with my flickr page for a few minutes. Oh, did I tell you that my hubby did some photoshop pictures for my banner and cover art? No? Well, you can find them when you find me on Nanowrimo or you can find them on my flickr page. As always and forever, you can find me under Laieanna.
