Today I finished one concept (no.7 Netiquette) and then lost the plot, got bored and slightly torpid.
My obtuse wanderings took me to places of interest, but with no relevance whatsoever to my concepts assignment!
Apart from learning a bit about new technology, I spent most of the afternoon between Twitter.com, facebook, YouTube, WebCt and my personal email account...enough said!
At first I thought Twitter was very quiet, but usually everytime you send a tweet you get either a visible (to everyone else) reply or a private message - sometimes from people whom I'd never heard of.
So I don't need to write how fascinating that was, as well as looking up the people who are following you to see if you want to follow them!
For various reasons I decided not to follow a few people, so most stopped following me.
There is still one guy on my list I think.
I'm totally cool with that.
In all, I think searching for my concept references and writing one up *completely* just left me a bit wrung out.
You know - no creativity left - so I had to do something but couldn't be bothered moving from the computer, so looked up some old favourite songs from about 20 years ago, that always left me feeling refreshed or made me feel like crying (an extremely creative state!).
Both songs are by Amy Grant:
'Raining on the Inside'
and one of my ultimate favourites 'Say Once More'.
I have downloaded them from iTunes onto my iPhone - my original copies are on cassette.
Okay. It's 12.50am and I really need to go to bed so I have enough energy for the rest of the assignment...a very fascinating day :)

Tess thanks for the comment. I know what you mean about going down lots of allies and getting sidetracked. Hours pass and it is interesting but isn't what I am meant to be doing. I am going to start putting the concepts on a blog tomorrow I hope. I am editing at the moment as of course I have way too much.
ReplyDeleteAahhh Janine - I still can't get motivated to finish my concepts!
ReplyDeleteI've been pretty sick all week but don't want to ask for an extension because that runs into other things.
This morning I woke early to try and finish but had to leave to go to a work meeting that went for 3 hours to long...haven't been able to concentrate since.
Tomorrow's *the* day - I'm finishing completely! Switching my phone off and not getting sidetracked.
Good Luck for yours - head down (yeah, I should follow my own advice!).
Twitter is such a distraction! Yet it's so much fun (and addictive). How are you finding it now that you have a few more followers than when this post was made?
