One thousand words, my ass.
July 1st, 2007
So close and yet so far is right.
It seems the muse has deserted me. Or more accurately, the muse has a bad case of sympathetic Desk Job Ass and has gone off to a yoga retreat to recuperate.
Not only have I been unable to write five-hundred-to-one-thousand words a day as was the goal, but I’m hardly able to sit still at all, for any reason.
At work, I barely restrain myself from racing down hallways, scaling cube walls and hurtling over desks a la Office Parkour. At home, I ignore my email, even sweet notes from kind friends worried that they’ve offended me somehow with their previous sweet notes. After work, I find myself hoeing a weedless garden or scrubbing a bathroom already pleading for mercy.
On Saturday, I went to the mall.
Yes, things are getting rather desperate around here.
On the bright side, I have started doing power yoga again. I always feel so wonderful after doing yoga, I wonder why I ever stopped. Yoga massages a back stiff and sore from sitting for long periods. It strengthens muscles I never knew I had. It stretches hips tight from years of running. It sharpens my focus, quiets my mind, soothes my soul.
Now I just have to get it to write once a day.

Yoga is a soothing retreat from running/working/writing. I am guessing it will spark a new-found inspiration and desire to write. However I’m not sure it’s powerful enough to make your job better.
