I've decided that tomorrow, I'm just not going to open email, or web browser.  I'm going to come into the office, put some music on, take calls, and either play a really long single player game like Civ or Sins of a Solar Empire.  April Fools day on the internet has become All Liars Day, with the most clever liar getting the kudos (and relinking around the net).    And I'm tired of it.

Why is it when I walk on a tiled floor, I'm compelled to walk in a 'knight' like pattern?  2 forward and to the right for my right foot, 2 forward and to the left for my left foot.

This blog entry is the most non-work writing I have done in three months, and I am irritated.  I've had great ideas for all four long form stories I've got partially written, and I just can't seem to get them down on to paper.

Either work/home life is too busy that by the time I've got a moment, all I want to do is unwind.  For me, writing isn't a way to unwind.  I have some downtime at the office.  Of course, the normal helpdesk calls keep me off balance enough that I get little done or can't maintain a train of thought.  I gotta find some way to resolve this.  I feel like I'm going to explode from within if I don't get these stories written. 

There's a part of me that doesn't even care if they're good anymore.  I want to write them so that they're out of my head and finalized on paper and I stop worrying about various plot points.

On the other hand, I do care if they're good.  I'd like to sell the stories as well as make short film or tv series length shows out of them.

ARGH!

Okay, a blog.  I guess it comes with posting on Steven's blog here.  May try it out.
