This morning in working on a blog project for another company, it occurred to me that I need to "clean up" my old blogs. Delete the old and freshen the new. I'm back on track (thank you to the Dr.).
When I got to the old blogs I realized I had years and years of work that would just be archived, then I noticed the import/ export tool.
Where have I been?
I exported all my old blogs and deleted the account. I was then able to import every word from every year into my new format - yay! technology.
Now, with this comes history...ha!
I also realized with my new phone had somehow deleted all my photos from my old blogs, but the links were still there. So, after a few days work, This blog should be back on track with all my history, all my stories, my photos, all my whims of fancy.
This is so important, because I had an overwhelming year. I switched departments at my company and not only is everything that was once smooth and good, now a sheer pain in the ass (go corporate b.s.), but apparently I wasn't even allowed to have a public opinion anymore unless it was anonymous.
My writing has been my life since I was 5 years old, and now a job was attempting to stiffle my voice.
It took me months to get back on track and even write again.
So today is valuable for so many reasons.
I have lost nothing. I have learned the value of patience and technology. I have gotten my gift back IN VOLUMES.
Thank you Google, you are genius.

work in progress
I just looked in my documents folder as I await word on my 3rd script...is it funny...marketable...interesting...need work...
And I see 6 unfinished scripts - I could do this all day long.
It occurs to me I have been bogged down and can't get my creativity flow on because I'm so sure making money to eat is more important.
Which really pisses me off. The one thing I am good at, I can't do, because I have to spend so much time doing stuff for other people so they can be successful. How does this work?
Writing takes time, which I don't have a lot of. I spend much of my day nurturing children.
Then I spend some days fixing other people problems.
Then I try to fit in exercise, because my mental health depends on it.
Then I spend another portion of my day worrying about money.
My ideas come fast enough for me to write down and outline and then go back to taking care of other people's shit.
It's exhausting.
And let's through a boy in the mix... distractions are everywhere
I am easily distracted, this is a fact. But, when I'm on, I'm on.
Everyone needs one more hour in every day - I wonder when I will get a full day or week back that I fully own.
