Writing Update part deux and a groovy tune.

I've spent the last couple of weeks mulling in the back of my brain the problems with Indigo.  I would jot a line, a note but it stayed on the shelf.  I've been working on the play, listening to music,  reading, I even went to see Hunger Games on Sunday.  Very cool thing to watch to get my creative juices flowing again. 

Then I had an idea and spent time restructuring the arc of the story.  Moving chapters around so the historical aspects are coming up earlier.  Painting a clearer picture of the social landscape. It's very exciting. I can barely stop smiling and doing a little James Brown side shuffle from time to time.  I haven't quite started shouting out Yea! just quite yet but I can feeling it bubbling up.  :-)

I don't feel quite so pathetic at the moment.  Hehehe.  If you wait five minutes, I'm sure that it'll pass. *giggling * 

One more little bit...in my quest for some new tunes, I came across the following song: Facing the Sun by Fritz Kalkbrenner.  I know it's a couple of years old but I like the laid back sound of it.  It's definitely not the thrashing music that I'm fond of at the moment but I thought folks might enjoy it. 

Peace,

Odd Bits

I’ve had all sorts of odd bits to share and as I sit here writing this up, they seemed to have dissipated. The weather has warmed up but my body refuses to believe it and I’ve been running cold all week. Hmmm, feels like a spring cold is fast approaching.

It’s Friday, my favorite day of the week and I’m trying to put together some plans to go out tonight. Alas, I am the fickle type, one minute I’m up for going (want to check out some live music); the next I want to go home with a good bottle of wine to curl up on the couch and read Mike Carey’s The Devil You Know. So I’ve called for back-up. Music is still a strong component right now so perhaps I won’t need to strong arm someone into coming along. We shall see how it pans out.

So the other day, I read a writer’s blog and she wrote about the three book deal she just signed. My green-eyed monster came out. Every time something good happens for one of us (creative writer types) there is this little petty fire-breathing dragon that comes out in its wake. The rational part of me thinks it’s fantastic. The dragon part wraps my insides up tight with craving-want. I know I’m not the only writer that has ever felt that way so I won’t add any guilt or shame for feeling this way. Rather, I just acknowledge that it’s there so I can move on. Writing this up right now even makes me giggle a bit. Because the jealousy is not coming from a rational place. I have a strong desire to finish the two projects that I’m working on but they have taken a lot longer than I have anticipated. I’m impatient but I know I just have to keep plugging away at it. How else will these projects come to fruition?

Anyway, that’s all I have...now I’m off to listen to some head-thrashing punk music.

Rock on people!!
