I just don\u2019t want to do any of the creative things that I enjoy doing. I\u2019d rather go see or read other people\u2019s endeavors. <\/p>\n<p>I call this recharging the batteries. It happens a lot after I finish a large project and need a pause before starting the next one. It also happens when I write. I can\u2019t just go from one project to the next without giving my brain sometime to reset.<\/p>\n<p>Now if push comes to shove, I can pull it from somewhere and get moving on the next thing. However I like having the time to get myself back into a mind frame of whatever I am doing next.<\/p>\n<p>Next it to finish up the puppets I have on the table and build fish for Caroline\u2019s school play. In writing I have a Captain that I need to move along and an idea for a short story for an anthology I am going to be in. <\/p>\n<p>My pause was Farpoint and a trip to see my mother-in-law. Today we are driving home and unpacking the car. Tomorrow I put everything away and get the laundry started along with some cat stuff done. Then it\u2019s back to the puppets.<\/p>\n<p>I do have, thanks to my friend Andrew, my DragonCon puppetry sketch or rather the beginnings of probably one of my more twisted sketches.  I have one puppeteer in my back pocket and I will be soliciting a few more to make this work. This is a good thing since it is February and the convention is in September.<\/p>\n<p>I did add something to my list for Shoreleave which, I hope, will go over well. Then I might be doing something for SDCC as well in the puppet making but I will have to see how time is. <\/p>\n<p>But first I have a Captain, a literary character, a Sea King, and a Doctor to finish.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for the pauses and then getting back into the thick of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are times that I don\u2019t feel very creative.
