Anyone still reading?

I think that is the longest (except when without Internet) I have not put an entry in my web log.

And honestly I can’t really give you a good reason why. I have had topics come and go in my head. I have been reading about things I wanted to comment on. I just couldn’t get the time together with the computer to do so.

I made some decisions about Shoreleave and DragonCon that I now have to make peace with. We will be at both and I am looking forward to seeing people and geeking out with the best of them.

It is less than 30 days to DragonCon and, honestly, I have next to nothing done for the art show other than a few some details sorted out. Thus I have nothing for the Shoreleave Art Show to show this year. Considering I started this sorting back in January, I am not very happy with myself right now.

I am trying to get my “mojo” back in working order since it seems to be stalled out. My creative brain has gone to sleep and that has made it hard to do things. Not feeling particularly creative is a new feeling for me and I don’t like it very much. Or may be my brain is being more creative than my hands which seem also to be stalled out. I am getting things done ONLY when the deadline is looming and that’s not where I want to be right now.

I got my DragonCon schedule for this year. I have approved the schedule and pretty much know where I am going to be when. I am not overloaded but I will say that if you want to find me, it is going to be mostly with the Puppetry Track, which is what I requested.

So to sum up, not feeling my best and not doing my best which annoys the heck out of me.

I keep telling myself that I am a creative person but right now I’m not as confident in it as I have been.

Today is all about getting ready for Shoreleave. I will start with the first things and work my way to the next thing until it is time to leave tomorrow.

I am grateful for those creative things that I have been able to do.

Con catches a lot of people up short. I spend all year being sad because it's so far away, and now that I've got less than a month I don't know when I'm going to do all of what I need to do.

Still reading. I think my creative brain has gone on some sort of vacation...and it makes me not very happy.

Sometimes you need time to fill up the well rather than drawing from it. The creative spark will return. Give it time.

Still here. When I saw they were adding a puppetry track I was wondering if you were going to be a part of it. Do you happen to know where they are planning on having it? At least what hotel?

Still here.

I've about decided to try to cram in that one-last-quilt for Worldcon, so I know the feeling.

Still reading. I regret my LJ has mainly been full of moan lately.

I'm still reading..

I look forward to hearing about shoreleave and dragoncon. I would love to go to either of those.. but it will be a while before I get a chance to go to another Con.

Hey, welcome back!

Enjoy the cons.

And yeah, my creative mojo has just been phoning in the last few days. :/

I'm here too! I haven't posted anything in ages. FB is a huge timesuck. I almost wish I'd never heard of it. Used to write a lot more when it was just LJ.

But as long as there's Bejewelled Blitz, I'm kinda stuck, yaknow? :D

Next con for me is probably not till Arisia. I used to be a die-hard Worldcon-goer, but damn, Chicago hotel rooms are expensive. ::sigh::

Hugs, sending so much good wishes for your mojo!
