A Girl's Gotta Vent

Did you ever have one of those days where, for no apparent reason, you feel completely, utterly and wretchedly unhappy? Nothing has really gone wrong, but you feel out of sorts, like there's nothing good in the world to smile about anymore?

I know you've all had those days, so don't look at me that way.

Well, today felt like one of those days for me. Nothing went wrong, really, but I think I'm just burned out with homeschooling, overwhelmed with all the church responsibilities that have been given to me, and stressed out with all the waiting I'm doing concerning my manuscript that is in the hands of so many literary agents right now.

I think I'm just on overload, and so I'm dealing with it by feeling all bummed out over absolutely nothing. It never lasts long (thank heavens), and it helps to get all moody and write horribly depressing blog posts such as this one. And I need to get over it because I'm really close to finishing the first draft of another novel, but when I'm in this kind of mood I can't work. (Well, that's not technically true. I can't work on a manuscript, but I can certainly write bad poetry when I'm in this kind of mood.)

So instead I'm sharing my glumness with all of you. You're all gonna think I need to be medicated after this, but that's okay. Thanks for letting me vent. I feel a little better already.
