Your ability to produce, by the way, is amazing. <br><br>Cheers!<br>StevenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732608909485672758.post-57439028378119009552005-09-25T17:24:00.000-07:002005-09-25T17:24:00.000-07:00Steven, sounds like a fabulous and productive week...Steven, sounds like a fabulous and productive weekend. I was glad to read what you said about being overwhelmed by people. I have a very sensitive sociability meter, myself.

Perhaps from the amount of coffee I drink each day. People tell me I shouldn't drink so much, but hey, now they're saying that coffee has antioxidants in it that help you avoid cancer, so it's hard to argue that I shouldn't.<br><br>I know that I need a certain amount of solitude in order to recharge my energy. In that sense, I definitely have introverted strands to my personality. On the other hand, like last night, I HAD to get out and see people: I literally had a headache that didn't go away until I had spent some time talking to friends. Go figure.<br><br>This resonate with anyone else?<br><br>StevenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732608909485672758.post-70221394947571941562005-09-26T20:53:00.000-07:002005-09-26T20:53:00.000-07:00I think that some magic was in the air this weeken...I think that some magic was in the air this weekend...<br><br>Very happy for you, Steven, that you are finding your way with such joy. <br><br>Vicky<br>http://www.livejournal.com/users/vxv789/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732608909485672758.post-55571443601285936222005-09-27T05:56:00.000-07:002005-09-27T05:56:00.000-07:00Re your last question in your last comment, to Bet...Re your last question in your last comment, to Beth: YES! <br>Since I've been writing full-time, I've been leading (and loving!) a pretty solitary existence. And starting the blog has been SO inspiring and such a help in keeping me productive--not just in my writing practice, but in my thinking. I've had time to think things all the way through to the end (and the end is never what I expected it might be in the beginning--I love that about writing). But when that cabin fever sets in, holy cow! I almost have to run out of the house and be somewhere, almost anywhere, where there are people about. Even just a trip to Kroger (supermarket) is a nice reprieve. But it's most wonderful to go off to D's for a day or two. He is an hour away and it's a lovely drive. Yesterday I helped him lay a gorgeous maple hardwood floor in the livingroom. He'd kiln-dried, cut, planed, tongue-and-grooved and is now laying the whole floor himself. I respect this man no end, and being with him is such fun and such a re-invigorating way out of myself. His creativity sparks mine, and helps me prepare for another voyage inward. <br><br>Whoops. Went on too long. Almost writing my own new entry...which I hope to do later tonight, when I get home. New dream....<br><br>I enjoy the way you chat with friends in the entry, Steve...<br><br>P.S. Am expecting a Halloween visit from Theresa and Beth soon--we plan a pajama party...I'm hoping Beth will wear a "Skin Tights" costume. Can't imagine what Theresa will come up with. My usual costume is Frida Kahlo: mustache, unibrow and all....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732608909485672758.post-58831714954309114422005-10-03T22:26:00.000-07:002005-10-03T22:26:00.000-07:00Your kitty is rapt with attention, isn't he? ...Your kitty is rapt with attention, isn't he? Sorry I've been awol from things lately. I've been busy with school, Esalen, and my own writing. I hope to get caught up in the next couple of weeks, though. I did read your fairytale treatments--very nice. I would be interested to know what you learned as a result of doing them. What are your thoughts on doing a YA novel now? Will you do a novel with adult themes? Will you work on the project as a trilogy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
