I really, seriously, want to know

[paragraphs]

How the heck do all of you guys keep up with everything? What is the secret? Why can't I? I am behind EVERYWHERE...I want to read fics, I want to read TW3, I want to be active on my flist, on TWU, I want to play with socks, I want to finish my fic for lgbtfest, I want to get to know people better, I want...

I want to know how come I can't seem to do any of this. WTH.

Very depressing is my life at times though given what is going on with some very special people on my flist, I have no right to complain. Not by a long shot.

So, I guess I'd just best shut up. I just wanted to whine a second. Wail.

C, being eaten alive by work and RL and tired of it

I have learned more about multi-tasking these past months than I ever thought possible. Setting search programs to run and then pulling up a window to check messages. Downloading fics to read on trains and planes, printing them out to take to the treadmill at the gym. Snatching an hour here and there to check the flist, and doing about one in ten follow-up comments and posts.

Still learning how to pick and choose, look for what feeds my writing (selfishly), try to find writers I want to talk to in a little more depth, keep up the dialogue in something besides a half-assed way. So I get how you feel constantly behind. There aren't any standards for participation besides "whatever you can manage," but you can still feel as though you can never do ENOUGH.

And RL is important, and has that nasty trick of sneaking up to buttkick when we least expect, and and. It's good to deliver up a personal howl to the cyberwinds now and then! OW-WOOOO!

I wish so badly I could take a train to work and back. My commute is roughly 45 a day twice a day, and that so eats into life. I am starting to resent this fact actually. I need to move closer to work, really, but don't like so much the part of town work is in...no character and, NO BOOKSTORE!!!! So I can't do it. No no no.

OW-WOOO!!!! From me too!

I know one of my major problems is getting overwhelmed (hence posts like this one). Know what I ended up doing? Instead of choosing one thing to do, at least that one thing, I turned everything off and went to bed.

I *have* been better this morning...frankly am glad I whined as all these comments have been very sweet to read. And, I do have 3500 words of my lgbtfest fic I really like (even though I failed to complete it in time to get to the person I asked to beta it, oh well...), and will get more writing time in tonight.

So that's what I need--that multi-tasking ability (something I frankly, honestly, lack...which extends to every aspect of my life, work included). Am just too damn project-oriented. I just have too many projects! LOL.

OW-WOOOO!!!!!
