Cloudy Sea.. what an apt moniker for someone swimming through these waters!! opal on "Shocking Changes" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/shocking-changes#post-51129 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:16:06 +0000 opal 51129@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ And having Pluto in the 7th means that relations with others are super-emphasized and powered. All that power needs release and won't get it by sitting indoors on your own with a book. Hence the inability to focus. opal on "Shocking Changes" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/shocking-changes#post-51128 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:10:58 +0000 opal 51128@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Hmmm. Speaking from personal experience, perhaps Pluto is urging you to go out and live your own story for a while? Instead of absorbing others through books, generate your own? I will never forget standing in a bookshop in London one day many years ago, and two men were  at the stack beside me. One was browsing and chatting about the new books and his friend was standing by. The browser asked the other 'what kind of books do you like?' The other replied 'I don't read books much. Life is too short'. Well I was shocked. But I realised the man had a point. I've found it so easy in my life to escape into books. But what about MY story? What about becoming the author of my own life? Gah. nutsymaclewis on "Shocking Changes" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/shocking-changes#post-51125 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:31:27 +0000 nutsymaclewis 51125@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Jessica, I realized before I went to sleep last night what I started doing to focus on reading several years ago.  When I proofread my stuff or read pages of literature to get inspired before reading/writing, I read it aloud.  I'll read the inspirational ones (from authors I like) aloud, and for some of them I'll try to get into character:  for Charles Dickens I don the best British accent I remember from a "David Copperfield" audio-book I own, or for "Gone With The Wind" I read with a Southern drawl...  I used to have problems focusing mentally when I read silently.  I'd be halfway through a paragraph, with my eyes looking at the words, but my fuckin' head was off in Hawaii thinking of tits and ass.  So, to focus (and keep me from smacking myself around until my head was buzzing) I started reading aloud and it has helped me tremendously in staying focused. P.S. I came up with this BEFORE I fell asleep last night, but the geezer in the mental warehouse kept me up looking for answers...I finally knocked him out with two Sominex pills.    <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_wink.gif" /> Elsa on "various random entertainment 40?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/various-random-entertainment-40#post-51124 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:28:21 +0000 Elsa 51124@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ "If you'e going to be out in the field, you ay as well be comfortable (Taurus) out in the field but you'd hve not been comfortable out there no matter how fluffy I tried to make it..." nutsymaclewis on "various random entertainment 40?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/various-random-entertainment-40#post-51123 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:26:47 +0000 nutsymaclewis 51123@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_biggrin.gif" /> nutsymaclewis on ""Sex Addicts"?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/sex-addicts#post-51122 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:24:05 +0000 nutsymaclewis 51122@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Hahahaha......ewwww!            <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_eek.gif" /> alicia on "Shocking Changes" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/shocking-changes#post-51121 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:16:00 +0000 alicia 51121@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ This is a great thread Jess, I have a 3rd house moon aspected by everything and I used to love to read, and I have the same problem as you right now, I have started about 10 different books in the last few years but finished 0. It was about the time that Pluto transited my Moon when my reading habits went in the crapper too. Now I buy books that I am SOOOO interested in, but never read. It's a weird thing. I have 2 tall overloaded bookcases. It feels tragic to me.   opal on "various random entertainment 40?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/various-random-entertainment-40#post-51120 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:07:56 +0000 opal 51120@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ ROFL!!!!!!!
