Writing with My Eyelids Down

My story, my dream...you're there somewhere. Last on my list of priorities. I have accepted the fact that writing will slow down for a while. There's only so much daylight, right? Make room for Christ & Christmas. Okay- writing will wait. But the cool ideas I get when I'm laying in bed at night. What about those? If I don't get up and write them down, they are gone. A single distant memory of....what was that again?? To tired...exhuasted...wiped out...eyes closing....

No excuse really. Here I am blogging when I could be writing or doing laundry or cleaning house or running (which I will do soon, I'm just waiting for the air to warm up a tad) I remember scrapbooking. I've got loads of albums...I love pictures. But Annie Fanny...that's my dream and if there is any hope of you reading the back cover someday in Borders, I'd better get on it!!

Want to hear how I got the idea?
It plopped into my head one day in Mr. Fahle's class (my daughter's fourth grade teacher). I sat in the back of the room waiting for him to have a moment and my mind went wondering....

What if a girl accidentally gets launched into space and....boy, did it take off from there! I'm having a great time with it. Just wish I could get more done in less time. But there are way to many distractions at home. I need to get a ibook with NO internet access and go sit in a coffeehouse somewhere. Bliss. Wouldn't it be lovely? Damn! $1000.00...but it's a very cool little machine :)

I'm so gadgetie. Thank you for that Carl. I didn't used to be before he came along. All I needed was a bucket of paint and a good brush. Painting? It's been a while...a year? Already? Haven't I done anything? My art has taken a new form. Words. Shape, twist, cry, scream, laugh and I love it all. Someday I'll combine it. Illustrate my own novel. Yeah, I know I can do it! I will.

Have you seen that Madonna writes childrens books now?? OH MY .... very serreal to see her reading to a bunch of preschoolers. YIKES! I guess anyone can change...
