It’s been one of those miserable, awful summers. Since April – April! – temperatures have lingered in the 80s, some weeks reaching up into the 90s. Most Alaskan summers it rarely gets above the mid 80s, with July being the rainy month. It’s been too hot to move, or even think. I’d say the heat was behind my lack of posts, but in reality there were a lot of different, and emotional, factors. In short, it’s been a horrible summer and I can’t wait for autumn.
Since May I’m been struggling to write. Normally I just have to sit do and say ‘now I’m going to write’, and the words flow forth. But for the last several months it’s just been an uphill battle. I haven’t even been writing livejournal entries regularly. This last weekend I managed to get just over 1k on new story that I’ve had laying around forever, and that’s the most I’ve written all summer. I’m not sure if I’m finally coming out of the funk, or if I’m going to backslide again.
I have a lot of ideas for blog posts, and hopefully the funk, and heat, will stay away. I do miss blogging.
