so, after thrashing away at my novel for the best part of last week and not really getting that much further or having any brilliant feelings of inspiration shower down upon my head, I’ve decided to abandon my goal of 50,000 words by November 30th and focus on my coursework instead.

It seems that last week’s life lesson was, “you can’t do everything. shooting off too many arrows is as useless as shooting none at all.”

I’m starting to see how this can be applied to my broody feelings as well… is this just me wanting to shoot yet another arrow off towards the horizon? If we do decide to shoot that arrow, I’ve got to be prepared to leave the rest for quite some time before I’d have the time or energy to chase them. I’m not yet sure if that’s the right thing to do. My body thinks it is, in a deep, primordial, instinctual kind of way, but I’m still waiting on the final decree from my logic brain.

So for now I will focus on getting all my readings done, participating in the online discussions and getting that term paper done. Choose one thing and stick with it. le sigh.
