The writer in me is restless but can’t seem to find the words to put down on the pages.  Instead, I find I’m scribbling ideas on note cards and stacking them on my desk to do something with them later.  Although avoiding my garden’s siren call is difficult, maybe this lovely change in the weather will help to inspire me to sit down and organize my scribbles into a coherent package.  I need to get more words on the page and fewer half-baked ideas on note cards.

     My note card stack has reached toppling level.  Walk past my desk, the stack wobbles and threatens to fall.  Even the dogs have learned to tip-toe past.

     I have blank note cards with pens in every room of the house, my car, and my purse.  No idea has gone off into the ozone over the last month, which is quite an improvement over recent months.

     I realized today that I need to update my ‘what I’m reading’ list.  I hadn’t thought about it for quite a while.  At this point in time all those books on my list are finished and I’ve read many more since I posted it.  I’ll get around to changing it.

     I have new books that I won in the basket Nancy Martin donated to the auction.  I can’t wait to sit down, relax, take breath and dive into them.  I also have new books on my Kindle that I haven’t read.

     Yes, the old ‘so many books so little time’ whine.  I know if I want to do some reading I’d better do some writing first or Dave, Chuck, and a few other friends are gonna kick my a$$. 

     Nancy, that Donald Maas ‘Writing the Breakout Novel’ workbook might be just the trick to motivate me.  Thanks for putting that in the basket!
