Swamped!
Thinking about blogging earlier today, I was swamped by possible titles but had nothing of real substance to post about. Unfortunately, that just about sums up the state of all my writing at the moment!
Getting back to my usual exercise after the bursitis has been frustrating. Though I am managing to swim sixty lengths now, the exercise bike and weights are still proving too much for my leg. The result? Less aerobic exercise but more pilates for toning and strength. Fitting in swimming round the local pool timetable has left me with segments of spare time instead of long stretches so that I actually seem to have less ended up with less time for writing than I did before when I was exercising more!
I also feel swamped looking through my own poems, which I have printed out to see if I have enough to form a collection. Despite pruning out a large number, I'm still finding it a huge task trying to weed out the rest, find a coherent theme and order them effectively. Still, I never thought it would be easy, just as well really...;-)

Similar with injuries too: my back's okay and the running's nearly up to full distance, but haven't done any upper body as left shoulder still not right.

I suspect if I got down to haikus, Marit, I might just get rid of them all together. Mind you, the frame of mood, I'm in at the moment that might happen anyway! There was an interesting piece in Mslexia about different moods suiting different writing processes best. I think I'm best to steer clear of all my own work at the moment as I'd probably wreak havoc!
I really should get myself an easier hobby than writing or exercise!
