Why I'm not blogging...



Building a website is the 'too hard basket'



Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this post.  I’m not blogging at the moment for two reasons and wanted to let you know that I’m not ignoring you dear followers or being slack.  I’m simply trying to achieve the following:

• Recover from this very nasty viral infection that is really, seriously and literally messing with my head;
• And because I no longer wish to blog on this site.  I’m in the process of building a new website – which is like taking forever!  I blame the headaches J or it could simply be my inadequate brain to take in all the technical stuff of making a more functional site.

Anyways, the theory is if I keep blogging here I will never finish the new site.  So I will aim to be up and running as fast as possible given the two reasons above and hope to see you in the blogosphere real soon.

Take care my lovelies and if you subscribe to this blog or are a facebook buddy or a fan of my facebook page or follow me on twitter – you will know when my new site is up and running.  Which will be ultra soon - Inshallah.

40 Day Dream...♥

Okay - and here is Part III.  What do you think so far? 

You are not only hearing the great songs from the awesome debut album but watching a movie unfold through a series of music clips.  Besides great marketing, this is a most excellent way to be entertained.  You want nothing more to reach in like watching your favourite serial on tele to find the next instalment through song. (I'm not even sure what I just wrote made sense) but I think you get where I'm coming from...

This song in particular is one of my most absolute favourite on the album.  It seriously rox and I never get sick of it.  Here is some background to this clip:

40 Day Dream finds Edward and Brother hiding out in the desert after their violent jail-break. Jade, having received a telepathic message from Brother, brings them to meet the rest of the Magnetic Zeros. Edward is welcomed by his new family and his troubles are briefly lifted by a healing vision of togetherness. After a night of revelry, Edward is awakened by Angel.

Midnight rambler looking forward to Part 1V and sharing it with you when it turns up on Edward Sharpe's video channel :)

Going down the rabbit hole...

'The Rabbit Hole is a three-day, 30-hour writing frenzy where participants aim to write 30,000 words OR the words 'The End' - whichever comes first!'

And it starts tomorrow.  I had planned to be a part of this worthwhile event.  Since this was announced I have moved, been sleep deprived and commenced full time work, not to mention I can barely make my way to my desk to write.  Clearly, this is no excuse to not be a part of The Rabbit Hole event.

I will write.  Absolutely, I will -  but rather than aim for the above as I would have given better circumstances - instead I will dip in and out over the weekend.  Check in on the facebook page and see what's happening.  Go here for more info and maybe you might like to sign up.  What a great way to spend a weekend.  Allowing yourself the freedom of expression without interruption, or chores, or distractions.  So watch the facebook, the tweets but don't get caught up or procrastinate.

This is your opportunity to dig on down the 'rabbit hole' and actually put some words on the page.  Go Queensland Writers Centre for bringing this together! Let's make it a productive weekend of getting in touch with your creativity and enjoying the wild abandon of writing in a frenzy.

Have fun to all you participants and even I expect to achieve some words this weekend.

Why can't I get this right?

This is a pic of the current state of my office/creative space.  What do I do?  Do I write? Do I blog, answer emails, connect with my online community, unpack?

Writing should be number one priority, right? I'm a writer! But of late my priority has been the day job (without that the bills don't get paid) packing and moving - without the boxes I live in limbo - great when travelling not so great when bogged down with responsibilities and financial commitments, and did I mention the constant interruption of tradies - repairs galore!

Needs some attention...

This time poor business is a constant juggle for me switching between the practical, creative, and business mind.  It would seem I don't manage my time well at all, yet in the work place - time management is one of my strong points - so what's that about? Am I just one of those crazy, creative people that constantly distract themselves with other things, like life, which leaves me in this constant flux of creative frustration!

How am I supposed to eat healthy food...

How do you manage your writing/creative time when big things take over your life?  All tips, thoughts, ideas are hugely appreciated.  Should I start by acknowledging what I do do with my time?  I've now blogged (tick), dealt with the oven technician except now I have no door so can't cook - so that's only half a tick, dishwasher repair (still working on that one) Air con service (tick) unpack a box or two, or three (tick) even God forbid a coffee break and relax over the latest edition of Writing Queensland? Not looking likely!

What am I doing wrong?  Maybe I should just get drunk and dance on the beach?  Thoughts...
