I haven’t been reading lately.  I have three books sitting here with bookmarks in them at various stages.  There’s another stack sitting on an end table waiting too.  You would think with the cold weather settling in that I could find some time to curl up in my comfy chair and read.

     However, this is not the case.  The same goes for the writing, it’s not moving forward as fast as I’d like it to.  Nope, it’s stalled.  The mind boggles or rather, is boggled, bogged down, over worked, over stressed, and over tired.

     I’ve tried all my usual jump-start techniques to no avail.  My muse needs her ass kicked or something. 

     Then again, it could be the holidays.  They always fill me with a Bah Humbug attitude.  They have for many years.  This is NOT my favorite time of the year.  No sirree, when you are feeling all holly jolly I’d rather ignore the whole month.
