Homework

Right now I should be working on homework, but I have four hours until class so I figure it can wait a few minutes. I am still riding the wave of finally putting *something* out there - a teensy-weensy flash fiction, but I crossed that first step of finishing it! Ok, so it's about 500 words - but I finished it. It may evolve into a novel at some point, but right now my focus is just writing everyday to prep for NaNo. See, that's what I'm doing now - preparing. I guess my homework could sort of help....but it's not fiction so I don't count that writing. I like to keep my writing flow going and citations and references bring it to a screaming halt. Fiction is all mine...all my own thoughts and with only one citation at the beginning - by Jenn Bush. Ok fine, I will get the homework done now so I can write on some more fun stuff after.

Whats going to happen?

Today holds promise....I feel renewed and refreshed. I am not sure what I will do first, just checking in and around the usual places, then maybe some writing. NaNo is just around the corner and I can't wait. I also feel like cleaning and decorating a little bit today. I have a while to do it all, and the week is shaping up to be a great one!

What to do

I have lots of things to accomplish....trouble is I can't decide where to start! Ideas swarm in my head like crazy but there is always something to finish or do before. (Let's not discuss how my craft space needs to be cleaned each time before I start a project). Well, instead of continuing this blog - I'm going to go start the day and randomly craft SOMETHING. Doesn't matter if it's perfect - just a start.

It began well

today started out productive....
We went to Panera for a nice breakfast, I exchanged my Cricut at AC Moore and then we drove to Cortland for the sandwich seminar on AIDS Education. Then we participated in a silent protest in conjunction with the GLSEN group at Cortland. Again, motivational. I was going to get things done today. Somewhere in the midst, I felt an anticipated feeling of sleepyness - brought on my my realization that I have to work at 6:30 am tomorrow. I did some writing on one of my stories but I hit a roadblock there - enter writing in my blog. At least it's something. On a good note, the story is now over 2000 words....still quite a bit to go before hitting novel levels - but something is definitely better than nothing.

Roadblock Removed

Ok, now that I have had some major epiphanies of what I could write, I am much more motivated. The rut is not there anymore, and it's also fall...one of my favorite times of the year (winter rocks too!). I have every intention of going to the market tonight and hopefully finding a pumpkin or some form of squash. That doesn't really have to do with my writing, but it puts me in a great frame of mind...so by default it helps. Also comitting to eating healthier, and really "kicking it into gear" (for my Disney friends, I had to say it, ok?). I have also figured that I will never, in the near future, have that all perfect day when I can plan, craft, write and cook everything I want to. For now, my mantra is accomplish what I can in the time given...and don't waste it!

Stagnate

Wow, for the past couple weeks I have really hit a roadblock. Kind of feel overwhelmed with my ideas and lack of a plan to accomplish it all. Hopefully this week I can really set down some kind of schedule that I can work with. There's always so much I want to do, but never somehow get to it. Let's see what the week brings with it.

Here we go!

Today begins the planning phase.
I am writing down everything that comes to mind when I think of this new adventure. Thanks to some friends, I have lots of inspiration - that the sky is really the limit if you work hard! I have also noticed that I come from a line of small business people (grandpa, dad....hmmmm). This is the year of planning, acid tests, and networking - so I will definitely be busy. But I will be busy with a purpose. Ok, enough blogging - I have to write down some more ideas.
