The last two weeks have been really hard for me. For those who don't know, I have bi-polar disorder. The high points are when I do my best writing, and I usually manage to maintain my highs for quite awhile. I've learned over the years to channel all that manic energy into creating things, art, music, writing, i explore out in the woods, take pictures, ect, though I have to admit that its a pinball effect at times, bouncing from one thing to another, difficult at times to focus, but I prefer that to the lows. I am usually very good about controlling the lows and not letting myself fall to deeply into the hole, distracting myself, sticking close to my roomie, who knows how I get and how to help. These last two weeks have been bad though and its been hard to find the motivation to do anything. She's suggested that we get away for awhile, travel a bit, camp out, recharge, ect, and I think that's exactly what I need. I just want to let everyone know that I am not abandoning GA or my stories, i will be back at the end of summer with new chapters and hopefully a lot more energy and focus. thank you to my readers, editors and betas for your patience and understanding, If we have wifi places, I'll drop in and say hello. i hope everyone has a wonderful summer.
