Feeling Tired... · 1:04am Mar 26th, 2013
Hey everyone! Working that 7-day, 60 hour work week has really left me feeling drained. I haven't made much progress since that 12-hour shift the other day. Last night I managed to add about 300 words to my current story, but tonight I can barely read over what I wrote so far. I made it about three pages in before I just felt a sudden sense of...well, for lack of a better word "blah". I'm not ill and I'm not pushing myself too hard. The fact that I felt this wave of fatigue, suggests I'm going to back off, lest I push myself too hard. Besides, I promised myself before, I won't be one of those writers who writes with his brain turned-off. I owe it to myself and especially to all of you to write when I'm at my best.
I hope you will continue to bear with me as you have in the past. Hopefully this seven day work week will be the only one and I'll at least get a day off this week. Right now I'm looking at a 4 to 6 day work week. If my employer grows a heart and lets us have the weekend and Good Friday off, I'll have a 3-day weekend, but given their track record, I'm not sure I feel so optimistic this time. I'll hope for the best, but remain realistic about the most likely outcome. I'm just going to take it easy for a while and when it feels right, then I'll hope back into my writing.
Thank you all for your support and warm regards! I'm sure I'll be my normal self in a day or two. I just remembered something ArmedBrony said in my second to last blog. He said, "You can't rush perfection!" So, I was sure to keep that in mind, tonight. Take care everyone!

Just a little something to show you that I still love all of you...and so does Queen Chrysalis!
I know the feel, bro, I truly do. Manual labor is hell. So is working weekends.
And thanks for the mention! I'm glad I could give you a boost, no matter how simple it may be! Here's another one, just for kicks:
"Expect nothing, and never be disappointed."
As for the Chrysalis image, I think I used up all my dawws on it. (Instant wallpaper image!!)
It's actually given me the kick I need to begin brainstorming for the Human x Chrysalis story I want to do so badly.
Oh my god, I-I, that queen...so adorable... HNNNNNNGGGG!!!
Rest well and survive! I wish you luck!
Have a fantastic night!

I know how you feel man...work just completely destroys you. I hope you get fewer hours soon and more pay!
Why does evil look so cute?
Damn, too bad you've been overworked. Don't worry, everything gets better, and hopefully your up-days will come soon.
And that Chrysalis.... I think I just died from D'aww Overload! Makes me forget full grown Chrysalis is a heart-wrenching Changeling bitch!
I know how you feel. I got off work this morning and felt like a zombie.

That's how I felt when I found it. So much dawwww!

And I'm sure things will eventually get better!
Thank you! I appreciate it!

I don't know. I've found some adorable pics of Nightmare moon that make me ask the same question.

I agree, it has to get better before too long. Besides, Spring is here!
Oh and as for Chrysalis, I wouldn't be so quick to judge her. She may not be as mean as you think. Besides she only did what she needed to in order to protect her kin. I think she is just misjudged.

Yeah, that's quite the unnerving sensation, isn't it.
948358 Alright then.
Hehe, well, you'd know what I say -- to take it easy, and remember that we aren't going anywhere...relax, and when you are in the right mood, start writing again: if you try and force it, you aren't going to make anything good. See this a chance for a break where you can come up with all sorts of creative ideas....and then, you can come back all energized with lots of things to write about
Chrysalis looks so adorable - Insects can be look really beautiful with just the right look
