out of the house!

strange thing happened today. on the spur of the moment i decided to leave the house with my laptop. at first thought that i would just go to the dublin library because it is a place that i have worked at before, with little distraction. but for some reason i decided to drive by my old starbuttz and see if there by chance was a table open for me to use. and there was! i walked right in and was able to obtain my normal table with a cushioned bench. i guess the nice weather is driving people outside. and that was at 1pm when i got here. it’s now 3pm and the place is more full. i guess i lucked out.

the thing floating around in the back of my mind to do here is pull my writing back out of it’s trunk. my current writing project is my nanowrimo novel from last november.  i’m into the next chapter now, something i haven’t even looked at since april. it is really awful writing. and there is so much that can be edited out. not sure how i’m going to decide what to do with it. i want to keep it as close to the original style of my consciousness stream writing as i can, but i don’t envy the reader getting bogged down in my repetitive thinking and forced way of thinking. there really is an important story inside all of my chatter, and i want the reader to be excited about discovering it. i need a close friend to sit and edit this with me. alas, the chances of that happening are nil, so readers will be forced to toil through my murk.

on the photography front, i’ve got lots of new models to work with but my physical energy has been so depleted i’m having difficulty with scheduling and commitment. in just the past week i’ve had to cancel/reschedule on three different models. my last CG shoot was 6 weeks ago, and i was not all that happy with the results. she was another “professional” model. i mean she was beautiful and cooperative, but it just seems to take so long into a shoot before i can start to capture them in their relaxed mood/positioning. plus, she brought an escort – her boyfriend, something that does not usually bother me at all, but this guy just put off a vibe that interfered with me. never had that happen before with any other boyfriend/escorts.

yeah, so it has probably been 6 weeks since i’ve been here at starbuttz. haven’t been here since i cut my hair. nice, but one of my favorite baristas here knew it was me and said that she missed me. maybe this will be the start of me getting a little more social again, even though i don’t really talk to anyone here. just the fact that i’m getting out of the house and being around people is the important thing. and to feel free to do more writing. this is the place where i do most of my writing work. gotta figure out how to edit that nanowrimo. oh, i should mention too that i am using Windows Live Writer to create my latest blog entries. its feature rich and pretty easy to use. i like it and will probably stick with it.
