I'm a day behind my personal Saturday deadline for posting something to do with writing and my main excuse is ... I got 50 cents off Breaking Dawn 2 at Redbox. AND I am working on a story for Sword and Sorceress, to submit and in my wildest dreams get in. I finished - sort of - a draft of a story for Fantasy Writer's about parallel universes.
I need to not write about parallel universes, especially when I only have a month to write.
Now I'm starting to think about final papers and presentations and other evil mean beasties.
This week I have to write about someone writing about Thomas Aquinas. And all I can think is - this is my life.... I have entered into some bizarre parallel universe wherein I am writing about someone writing about Thomas Aquinas.
AHH!!
Okay watching Doctor Who probably doesn't help either. Watching Doctor Who and Breaking Dawn. My mind is like - these two things cannot exist together.
I want to live in just one universe. One universe is hard enough. So maybe that's why I'm editing this story about a young woman who is trying to preserve the figurine which is all she has left of her dead mother. Who is dead. But she still has this glass figurine.
That feels more manageable. Sure the universe is still not real because it has magic and stuff like that. But, it is still only one universe. No time travel. No temporal or spatial shifts to have to explain and try to capture - unsuccessfully - in words, until I'm frankly bored with it and annoyed myself. It almost feels relaxing..
One universe for the next month or so.. And maybe, just maybe I can manage that as a writer who also has to from time to time visit 'reality' to pass finals and get laundry done. And get my blogs posted on time. And pay regular visits to the place of torture - aka fitness room.
