Living Words

Thinking back on the title, it sounds like I'm going to talk about the Bible, but I'm not.

I seriously need to get back in life. All my inspiration comes from the one thing I do: watch Dr. Who. It is brilliant, but my writing is becoming too influenced by a TV show. This is what I hate about being sick. Since I don't go to school, I don't do a thing, I don't talk to people, I don't experience anything but illness. I cannot write when I'm sick. It all turns into trash! But it isn't just writing. I can't do ANYTHING when I'm sick. I feel like I'm trapped and I just want to burst that stupid seaweed bubble that's holding me back! Brrrg. It doesn't help that I can't sleep at night. I have no idea what's wrong, but I was up at 4 in the morning last night. I normally get to sleep around 11 (yeah, I know some people don't sleep at all, but sleep is something I cherish), but I was listening to a single episode of Writing Excuses for hours on end!

The worst thing about being sick is that I am fine at home! Most of the time, I just have a short attention span or headache or stomach ache. But when I go to school and I'm around people, like today, none of them think that I'm sick. And I can't blame them, because I don't act sick. I act normal. But when I'm especially noisy and hyper at school, that's when I'm having the worst time. I just try to ignore the fact that I feel like throwing up, or that I want to scream and die. But after school, even today, when I was there for only an hour, I was exhausted. I didn't want anything more out of life than a nap. I wanted to get out of there FAST. And so it bothered me greatly when people looked at me with these expressions on their faces 'YOU are sick?' and 'why have you been skipping school?'. Then they ask if I'm feeling better, and, if they're an adult especially, I have to say 'yes, a little bit' or lunge into a huge, dumb, useless conversation. As it is, I am feeling WORSE! I can't sleep. I can't eat. I think the only things I can do are blog, drink water, and watch TV. The life of a sickie.

Wow, so the title of the blog, An Author's Escape has so much more to it. Now, if you look beneath the surface, I'm sure you can figure out some of its meaning.
