Turn around

Looking for one piece of paper today. Not found. It’s still got me in a bad mindset. Not groovy. And now I can’t stop trying to look. Not writing. Hoping tomorrow can be better. Not crappy. At least writing line like this make me happy. Cheers!

The light

Sometimes, I do things without realizing why. Then later I discover the why. Yesterday, I happened to look up at the light in my writing space. Yep, don’t know why. I just did. I realized that it was one of the special lights that I can control. A fancy LED. My son must have put … Continue reading The light

Saving the brush

Today, I got to unpack the art supplies I got over the weekend. Two of the paint brushes I got were really expensive. Really! If I’d know what their cost would be, even at a discounted price, I probably wouldn’t have gotten them. Maybe. I do know the worth of a good brush. That was … Continue reading Saving the brush

It will all work out – really?

I had to remind myself that I’m still ramping up today as I got words done. I got a good number done, but not quite where it needed to be. That’s okay, it’s still all good. I’m stretching the muscle. I could have gotten more done, but I thought I would switch tasks for a … Continue reading It will all work out – really?

Accountability – April #1

I played with Temmy for a few minutes before I went to sit down last night. It made her quit following me around and staring through the gate at me. I got some words done. It ended up not being too bad after all. It wasn’t great, certainly not as much as I wanted, but … Continue reading Accountability – April #1

Cat who wants to destroy the world

Today, I fell down. Not literally. Just with my word count. I didn’t want to wake up, but I needed to get going a little early this morning so I did. I then went to town to go grocery shopping — another thing I didn’t really want to do but knew I needed to (otherwise … Continue reading Cat who wants to destroy the world

Art supplies and words

Really glad I had my word challenge today. Without it, I probably wouldn’t have written any words other than my blog. But because of it, I got over 400 words done before my day started today. And it’s been a busy day, including my friend taking me to a really cool art store I didn’t … Continue reading Art supplies and words

Drive safely

Ah, the weekend! It has arrived for me. Woot. I’m trying to get my blog done a little early today because I don’t know how long I’ll be out tonight hanging with family and friends. I did manage to get some words done earlier today before the fun started. All while folding laundry, washing dishes, … Continue reading Drive safely

Turning tides

Even with a packed day of meal prepping for Merlin and meeting with my creativity coach — great session — I still managed to get 1,000 words of writing done before work. Go me! Yes, I’m pleased with the results. She can be taught! I’m enjoying being so much clearer and focused on things without … Continue reading Turning tides

Choices were made

Choice today: paint or cook. Decided to cook dinner. Planned to eat late then paint. Sounded like a workable plan, until The Rookie sucked me in. Now I’m stuck to my chair. No painting done. Try again tomorrow. Leftovers, no Rookie. Cheers.
