Upon consideration, I am going to try to do this reading dep thing. I'm giving myself permission to read email twice a day, and that's it. No IM, no LJ reading (writing's ok). I'll see comments, because they come in my email, but I won't reply to them until next week, and I won't read my friends page until then either. I love you all.

I'm not even going to game on Monday and Thursday. I'm writing an email to the GM to say so, soon's I'm done here.

I already started. I took my book-on-CD out of the player in my car (The Maltese Falcon, by Dashiell Hammett, and I'm on Track 16 of CD 4 of 6, for anyone who's curious), and put in a music CD instead: the Indigo Girls, which I had never listened to before.

A misheard phrase from the first song gave me another scene of my Llorona story, and a possible title, though it probably gives too much away: "The Drowning Moon". First thing I did when I got here was to write down that scene. The last one of the story, as it happens. I have the very first scene, one in the middle, and now the end. Progress, though slow.

Some things I might do with my reading-free week: Call Kirk. Call some other people. Write a few letters. Clean the house. Play with Rosa. Work on my story.

Yes, I'm obsessed, I admit it. I cannot wait for tonight so I can play Amber again. It's been two weeks without a fix and I'm dying here!

Yeah, I know, I could've done some work on Amber Eternal, and in fact I meant to, but somehow talking to Liz and/or Elissa and/or BriAnne has been much more appealing. I'm so behind that it's a daunting task just to catch up and order my thoughts.

I really need to organize my life better in hopes of defeating procrastination. Even when it's something I really want to do, I end up putting it off. Maybe the morning pages concept could work for other things too: Schedule some "sacred time" for whatever important goal I have, even if it were only a few minutes a day. I can't get up much earlier in the morning, but I can find a half-hour here and there that I can take to be my own.

Tasks at hand: Write La Llorona. Catch up with AE. Finish my new webpages.
