~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being in a rut is driving me nuts. I feel trapped in this doldrums. In my mind, I am screaming … Please, somebody! Get me out! Writing is hard, nothing comes to mind. Going out is tough, even to the market. All I do is read, transporting me to Boston, and Vermont, the settings of the stories. Need to write, but my muse is not around. Need to move, but cannot find my groove. Breathe! Need to do something, do something … Ahhh, put make up on, a leather mini skirt to show sexy legs, a halter hot pink top and now I feel hot, hot, hot … ole, ole … bye, doldrums!
