So, write a story you have to "enact"? Surely you've read books and wished you could enter the book world? :-) Start each day with a "task" like you're on a quest?

I know what you mean about being disconnected from the real world; I caught myself once complaining in my journal because the plants and things I'd bought for my little garden right out my front door, 20 feet from me were dying because I wouldn't get out of my chair and walk 20 feet and "do". So, I was complaining about my complaining about my not doing, LOL. At one point though I "got it" briefly and realized I could "do" anything at all I wanted, didn't have to just complain I wasn't doing.

(if i could do anything, i'd become a full time writer of fiction and poetry) -- so, start?

Restless and bored
An unused sword
She champed at the bit
A one-person horde
