Chopping wood and Harry Potter fic  
I think perhaps, I need to find some wood to chop...

Or perhaps go for a very long walk....

A very, very, long walk. It’s not that I have so much energy, it’s just, when I was at work Friday, I was shovelling sawdust into this huge trailer, (had to re-bed the Rhino sleeping area), and I was there for like, half an hour at least, just, shovelling, shovelling, shovelling. And you know? It felt really good to just let it all out and shovel. Like in the stories where people who are pissed off go outside and chop wood to get out their anger. (Actually, sad as I am I wrote a whole scene in my head for my Harry Potter fanfic centred on chopping wood because of it.) So I think I’ve been being still too much lately; I’m in total stress overload, my brain is just sitting there going “Warning! Warning! Complete involuntary shut down imminent! Warning! Warning! Evasive Manoeuvres! Warning! Warning!”

So yes. Walking is good. Or maybe dancing, but I have to get my flatmate out of the house for that. *sigh*

In other news, I’ve been drawing like crazy this week, I still suck, but little by little the suckage is lessening.

Also much writeage. Just randomly decided to stop procrastinating and actually *start* the Harry Potter Fic Of Doom. Which seriously, I’ve been writing in my head since... when.. the 4th book came out? Now with book 6 closing in I wanted to get started before any of my ideas are ruined. I actually think I will set it after Goblet of Fire, ignoring events of Order of the Phoenix anyway.

In would just like to say though, before book six comes out, If Neville turns out to be a really good wizard once he has his own wand and not his Dad’s one, I THOUGHT OF IT FIRST! Just so it’s on the record. :P

This doesn’t mean progress on A Grey Future is slowing down, I am working on that with equal fervour, I just am in such an arty mood at the moment it’s overflowing everywhere. At least stress overloads have some use.


Okay, I better go and draw up a calendar for the next 3 months, don’t want to get behind on schoolwork because of arty joy.
 
 
Current Mood: twitchy

Why can't you write at the mo? Do you have {scary voice} "THE BLOCK"? Or are ya just busy?

I don't think I've ever actually chopped wood in my life, I was either too little or too sick whenever we had a fireplace. And I had a handy brother to do all the MAN-JOBS (whoops, better watch the femministic cynacism there..) But it was the thought that counted. And I won't be getting rid of the flatmate till I leave now probably, it's school hols, which apply to Polytech too, which is where she is at. So, walking would probably be the key.

oh well my parents divorced and my brother goes to boarding school so i did a lot of wood chopping, and it is reallyreallyreally good if you're stressed or worked up or whatever *nods*.

walking is good. as long as it doesn't rain. *nod*
