Writing - that thing that hasn't been happening lately

I wish I could blame work or Gary or insomnia for my lack of productivity, but still disabled, Gary's been off riding his bike for almost two weeks and won't be back for almost another two, and I've been sleeping almost ten hours a day.

I suppose the sleep issue should be worrying me a little. I've been feeling a little worse than usual - probably a sinus infection - and I know I've been using sleep as an escape, a way to make time pass by since getting out of bed holds little attraction. Yes, I know that's a symptom of depression and I'm already on meds for that, so I'll be visiting the doctor so he can put me on antibiotics again and hopefully back in a better mood. Actually, I know it will, it's not as if I haven't been through this before.

Back to the writing. I've been doing the butterfly thing, fluttering between files and adding a paragraph here and there, but nothing that can be posted. Worse, I've woken up two days in a row with a very dark story poking at me and I'm afraid nothing will get anywhere unless I write it. I'm sitting here thinking that I'd have a hard time convincing myself, let alone my readers, that there's a 'happy' ending to it, even though my OTP ends up together and alive at the end. I thought To Race Apollo, Intentions, and The Seeds of Change were grim. *shudders at the unexpectedly dark place in my brain*

What I'm not going to do is post any new WIPs. The next update to a WIP will be to finish it. I'm determined to get at least one done in the next few weeks - likely The Kent Identity since that's the one I've gotten the farthest on lately.

At least I've been able to get a few pieces done in Photoshop, although even that's dropped off.

I'd really like my brain back on line sometime soon.
