Why Hello There... Remember Me?

Hello ladies and jellyspoons!

I'm back from a hiatus (of sorts).

I'll get to that at a later time. Maybe. For now, I've been doing a lot of thinking - a lot about writing, but not really doing any actual writing. 

And I'm hoping to fix that.

I've been in a slump for a while now. I've been doing my best to do the needful as well as "touch grass" from time to time, even though the universe has a way of frakkin' with my mojo.

Work, insomnia, and other stresses have been playing hackey-sack with my mind and body, and trying to find some kind of balance to improve my physical, mental, and spiritual health has been a bit of a chore. The stresses are mostly winning at present. It feels like the score is: 

Me: 0
Them: (said in a Dr. Evil voice) OOONNNEEE BBBIIILLLIIIOOONNN!!!

That was perhaps a slight over-dramatization, but you get the gist.

Everything seems to blur together (that's probably the lack of consistent quality sleep talking). I snap into autopilot when I'm at work... only to get home... and pass out. And instead of touching "grass" - I'm touching bed... and falling into many a napcident for who knows how long.

I've been thinking about bringing this blog back to life, if only to...

1) help me get in a writing mood to help me finish some stories I've started

2) to purge the babble inside my head. 

Do I think anyone cares to read that babble? Probably not. Yes, that is the pessimistic side of me talking (and the late hour at which I'm writing this isn't helping my mood much) - but oh well. But the writing is mostly for me. If anyone else cares to read it and (hopefully) enjoy it? That's just a plus.

I've been going through my YouTube subscriptions recently and rewatching old videos from creators I love came across a post from Carrie Hope Fletcher from about six years ago called "May, Myself, and I" where for that month, she created a list of 31 things to do a vlog about. 

I'm going to take that idea and run with it. I'm not sure if I'm just going to start whenever I want and do 31 posts when I feel like it... or start in August since it has 31 days in it. (August Myself, and I... that sounds like a lovely song or film title. I'll most likely write something when the mood strikes. Every time I try to make a posting schedule for myself, it ends up falling by the wayside until I gather up enough mental/emotional stamina to start posting again.

I thought about just calling it "Me, Myself, and I" since it is literally just that, but we'll see what happens.

Anyhoo, that's all I came here to say so I'll chat at (with?) y'all later. 

Have Goodness!
