Weirdo Ideas
I got up this morning and several weird things were running around in my brain. The first of which was a song, that went, "Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands!" It took me ten minutes to figure out it was the song that Lambda Lambda Lambda performed at the annual Greek Games during Homecoming, in the movie Revenge of the Nerds.
Nooooooo, that's not weird at all.......
Also, while getting ready for work, a story idea popped into my head, and it won't leave. It insisted on being mulled, and added to, and fleshed out, even during my drive to work. And it could best be described as a horror story.
I don't write horror! Do I?
The story centers around an odd household item..... it won't go away. It jumps up and down and shouts and waves its words around. I think I'm going to have to write it.
Ooooh, though, I got a great and absolutely normal email today entailing the delivery of my oh so fabulous book order from Barnes & Noble on Friday. YAY!!
Now, it's time to get the hubby to let the dog out before bed, because if she gets me up in the middle of the night one more time this week, I'm going to be writing a true crime novel about the demise of a black laborder collie.......

Aaaaaccckkkkk! I'm Late!
I was reading some blogs I follow and looked at the clock to discover that I am minutes late for posting on Tuesday!!!
I am going to count this entry as Tuesday's in my heart, and still do one for Wednesday. When I will also have more time to think it through, as opposed to scrambling at the last minute.....
Plenty of time since we very well may be snowed in tomorrow! yay! I love timely and season-appropriate weather. :^)

Monday Mania
So, by the time Monday night rolls around I am usually a blob of mush. Mentally and physically.
I did, however, come up with two new story ideas today.
Most importantly, I used my Christmas gift (a gorgeous Barnes & Noble gift card from my in-laws) to order The Artist's Way, the AW Workbook, and the AW Morning Pages book!! Yeah, baby!! I can't wait, they should be here by Thursday!
I am still working on some form of organization for my future blog posts, but currently my brain has seized and all I've got is blah, blah, blah.......

Sunday Snippet
I usually try to leave Sunday open and committment free, so on any given Sunday I may just throw out a sentence or two.
Perhaps I will use it as an outlet for my spiritual life. It just popped into my head and is starting to take root...... I'm liking it!
I'm going to rename the Sunday posts going forward, stuff still mulling around in the old brain factory, but starting next Sunday it'll be something new.
It's a perfect day to start with this:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." ~ Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)
What an awesome promise to lay claim to in the beginning of the New Year!

One Step At A Time
Day 2 of the New Beginning.
Yes, I have written in this blog two. days. in. a. row.
{angel chorus sings, "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"}
I am one day closer to achieving my goals for the year!
"See the good all around you, even if you have to squint...."

Behold, All Things Have Become New
Welcome to 2010!
While I have never believed in the "New Year Resolution" (my resolve is subject to whim, it seems), I do believe in setting achievable goals. Most recently I have learned how to divide these goals into smaller, bite-sized chunks, lessening the chances for fail even more.
So here it goes.
Goals for January 2010:
1. Write something, anything, every day - in this blog.
2. Create a new story idea, and write down the main idea.
3. Create a character chart for one new main character.
4. Organize ideas for my blog entries to make follow a weekly pattern by 1/8/10.
Okay, there you have it. Four new goals in the new year. At the end of January, I will give a report on how I did, and set new goals for February.
I'm feeling pretty good about my new strategy, let's just hope it isn't as fragile as my resolve.
