It has been a rather long week. I suppose that is down to how lazy a week it has been. Other than cutting my hedges mid-week and a bit of Civ5 I haven’t done much. Yes that is what holidays are for though I was hoping for some inspiration in the writing department. Unfortunately I have found none though I still have this weekend to find some. I’m just not able to find where to start even though I have a picture in mind I can’t find the right words.
It is never easy to start a new story which is true for most things. Really it is getting the drive to make the start that is the problem usually at least for some of us. Then come the excuses, “Oh, I can do that tomorrow.” And the countless other reasons we find. But as the old saying goes tomorrow never comes. Yesterday though is always a wasted day when we do make pretexts for not doing what we had planned.
What can you do though when we fall into the trap? Not a lot sadly other than try to better today. Yet I’m still finding that I haven’t made the start that I should have. When I think of it I think that this was the same for my last book though I did have more time on my hands then. So a wasted week was less of a problem. Unlike now as on Monday I’ll be back at work which I am looking forward to.
At least I did get one good day to get out into the garden to trim my hedges. With all the wet weather we have had recently I’ve not been able to get them done so they were looking really shabby. It is amazing how untidy they can make the garden look when they’re like that. Whilst doing them though I cut the cable which meant a rewiring job. Luckily it isn’t a hard one so I was up and running after an hour. Now the garden is much tidier looking. So at least the week wasn’t a complete loss.

18th October 2013
It has been a very lazy holiday for me over the past week. Now it is coming to an end I look back over the week and see how little I have done. Yes the gardening season is over other than the picking of the remainder of the blueberries. There are still more to be gathered so Magz will have enough to bake another pie with.
Every night has seen me playing Skyrim. I am at the end of the main quest of dealing with the dragon threat to the land of Skyrim which I had put of till I felt I was strong enough to deal with the final big boss. Sadly I don't feel ready yet to go for the final battle. To build character up more I have taken to minor quest and just generally exploring more of the countryside that the game is set. Yeah that is usual for RPG's which is mainly the sort of thing I have already been doing but with so much in this game it has been a struggle to become powerful enough to feel secure in how far I have come to take on that last dragon.
Gaming has meant a lot of late nights which isn't good. Next week I will certainly feel when I have to get up early again for work. Maybe I should have an early night or two before Monday morning. Of course That is unlikely to happen as the game has that grip on me that makes it hard not to play. Though next week will mean that it will be back to Saturday gaming only. Well I might as well enjoy the time I have left of my break from work, hehehe.
