I am currently not here right now. I'm off doing... stuff. Cool stuff, crazy stuff, scary stuff, and a bunch of uncategorized stuff. You know, that stuff that happens when we're not writing? No I'm not currently writing. I'm in that in-between zone where the current project is in a holding pattern while various folk ponder over it, and a new project is still brewing in the cobwebbed regions of the brain while another, different kind of project is buzzing away to a happy tune while it's getting dragged into existence. And then there's life that has a mind of its own.
So, yeah, I'm not here right now. I'm not even in Sydney. I'll make it up to you when I get back in a couple of weeks. That's when I'll be able to do the bloggy rounds.
And because my advice has always been, "Keep Writing!" I've decided to start up journal writing again. That way I can continue stringing those tricksy words together while crazy busy. Not only does any form of writing keeps you well practiced in the craft, it also helps to keep the insecurities away.
Blessings,
Lyn
Oh, and since this month is the April A to Z Challenge, I'll be doing the letters D, L and T over at the IWSG website. Well, technically I've done them already and scheduled them to post at the right times because when one is busy scheduling is essential. Have an awesome April!

As long as you're still here on Earth, that's cool! Let the new idea brew.
Enjoy the cool stuff, Lynda :)

I hope the ponderers like what they see.
See you in a couple weeks.
It's cool you're doing 'stuff'. I get that. Looking forward to chatting when you return...
Enjoy all the good "stuff"! :) And try not to let any scary or negative "stuff" bring you down.
As long as the stuff is fun enjoy giving it a run.
That's awesome that you are writing in a journal and busy with the rest of your life.
Hah! I'm right there with you, but I'm doing letters C, H, and O at the Parallels anthology blog. I hope all your stuff doing goes awesome and keep the journaling up. I've been journaling for 22 years and it is really what's kept my writing up to par. Sending cheese your way, my friend!

Wishing you loads of fun. Hope you will share some of your real life stories when you return.
I hope you enjoying doing stuff a lot and come back refreshed.

Happy In-Between Zone! Whatever you're doing I hope it's enjoyable.
I agree with the others, as long as you're still in cyberspace or on earth, or in blogland. And you're having fun.
Oh, good, journaling is a great way to keep the writerly brain going. Super idea! Best of luck with the "stuff" of all kinds. :)
Sounds like you're keeping yoursefl busy enough even without the writing. Good luck!
Sometimes, a writing break is what is needed to rejuvenate our writing juices.
Beautiful rose in the photo!
Hi. Lynda,
Hope you're at least having a great time! Great idea to bring a journal along....
Have a wonderful time!
#IWSG tourist ;-)
Always a good idea to bring a journal along on trips. I always do. Hope you're having a wonderful time. I LOVE the beautiful rose. Beauty is all around us in nature. Thanks for sharing, Lynda.
You can find a lot of inspiration in the cool, crazy stuff. My writing brain still fires when I'm doing other things. Have a great weekend.
Sounds cool.
Yep, still on Earth! And back in Sydney again...wooo!
Thanks, Shah
Same here. Crossing fingers. Thanks, Diane.
Cool is one word for it ;)
Never!! :)
Thanks, Madeline
Not all the stuff is fun, but giving it a run anyway because when someone is in need I won't turn my back.
Thanks, Natalie. I've found the journal writing helps sort through all those cluttered thoughts.
Cheese!!!! Cheese is win. Thank you, my friend.
Eventually I will.
hehe, I've come back to refresh! ;)
Thanks, Lee. It's a strange mix. There is definitely some enjoyment in there and I'm focusing on that.
Yep, still around as best as I can manage.
Thanks, Carol. Journaling has more benefits than I'd given credit. Silly me.
Thanks, Ken. Definitely busy. And now that I'm back I have a LOT of catch-up to do.
Breaks have multiple benefits. Thanks, Olga
Great, crazy, stressful, exhausting...and more.
Thanks, Zan. I love IWSG tourists :)
Beauty is everywhere if we have the eyes to see it. Thanks, Victoria
Inspiration is something that's certainly been burning lately, which is great.
There are levels of cool and crazy all mixed up into one.
have fun out of Sidney
I love your enthusiasm! Good luck on new projects, old projects, those in a holding pattern, and putting tricksy words into a journal. I'm in a writing holding pattern - but that's just plain old procrastination! lol
I hope you're enjoying the stuff - or research as I like to call all my non writing stuff. We never know when we'll use our experiences in a piece of writing.
Hi Lyn! I know at least one secret place you've been! Pity I wasn't there to welcome you! Hope all is going gangbusters in the gaming world and the writing world!s
Beautiful flower! Hope you're having fun with the doing of stuff. See you when you get back.
I'm baaaaack! :)
hehehe, a holding pattern due to unavoidable life circumstances is one thing, a holding pattern due to procrastination is quite another. Get back to work! *sound of whip cracking*
Research. I like your thinking. :)
Not quite gangbusters, but getting there. Perhaps we'll finally meet another time.
Thanks, Stephanie.
No worries, get some rest in if you can too:)
Sounds you are having a fab time. I hope you are enjoying!
I hope you're enjoying doing "stuff" :)

Sometimes the only stuff I am doing is eating ice cream...
Finally getting some rest... now I have to get back to work!
Thanks, Nas
Yep, it's always good to keep busy
See now, that's top quality stuff
So, what you're basically saying is life is good and you are one incredibly talented Lynda :)
Yes, you are.
Hi Lynda.
Really? Are you sure that's what I'm saying?
...you are?
oh, ok then :)
Hi Blue
Yes it is, Lynda. So glad you are enjoying your trip. All the best, my Dear!
