And this is me, unlocked.

I think I'll write a science fiction novel, but this one will be set in the Obverse (instead of the Universe) and there will be much inversality.

K, so, anyway, this is a bit of an explanatory post about stuff these days and why the lack of writing the WIPS:

So when I started writing all those lovely stories (Inevitable, Dawning Light, Physics of the Spin), I had a job. Now, I do not. Searching for a job is a soul killing, really, and not conducive to the creativity.

That said, I came to the realization last week that I am finding it impossible to work in the WIPs because of this different headspace. After I wrote 3,000 words of Physics of the Spin that was just not the right direction, I hit the delete key and decided that I'll be waiting to work on those until after I have a job and am not going crazy.

So that's how things stand. Interestingly enough, I have an interview across town in 2 hours I need to get moving for! Wish me luck :)

And now a meme taken from m_ravensblood:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in comments. It can be real life stuff (Top Five People I'd Like To Dine With, Top Five Musical Pieces Ever Written, etc.) or fandom (Top Five OTPs, Top Five Things Anita's Going To Hit Harry with once/if they get out of Hogwarts, etc.)

Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me.

Back in a few hours!

I get that. I've been out of work for a few years at this point, having moved twice cross-country in search of better prospects. I finally have had interviews, and suddenly I want to rewrite my kitsune novel (the one that had been deleted in a fit of despair). Since then, I've written a lot of fanfic one-shots and a weekly drabble for all_unwritten prompts.

And then my husband went into the hospital. Suddenly, I'm grasping to find things to amuse me or distract me. For two weeks, all I did was hang out on the internet, bored to tears. Uninspired, my WIPs stalled, my house accumulating clutter. The longer I'm out of work and stressed about it, the more of a toll it has taken on my creativity. I was fine until he started nagging me about getting a job a few months ago. I have two kids on summer vacation now, whom he assumed could stay home alone for a few hours while I worked, so the best that I can do is start work in Sept. while they are at school.

Anyway, this comment is going nowhere. Pardon my self-absorption. I just wanted to say hang in there, and good luck on the interview.

No worries about it; that's why we have LJ, to talk about such things. It's just grinding having to deal with all this stuff. All the best to you in finding something come September.
