Timing!

So, I'm working on the creative project that I've mentioned before. I am getting awesome support from some of my creative friends.

However, I find it frustrating when THEIR time schedule conflicts with mine. I mean really, people. Don't you think MY goals and intentions are more important than YOURS? Can't you make time when I want?

Obviously, I'm kidding...sort of. I am so enthusiastic about my project that I want to move forward on it quickly, and other people have the things they need to take care of.

I ended up freaking out a friend whom I want to interview by sending her multiple messages through multiple channels. I'll try to calm down...sorry, Samantha. And thanks for agreeing to be interviewed!

Big step!

I took a big step forward on the journey of my new creative project yesterday, with the help of a supportive writer friend. It is always so good when friends are supportive of what you do.

Is there anything worse than someone you love and appreciate standing there and giving you the skeptical eye when you announce you are going to become a writer/painter/sculptor/dancer/musician? No. There is not!

I admit, however, that I have been guilty once or twice in my life of being the skeptic, when other people have announced their grand plans. Then, the skeptics looked at me, and I realized how bad that feels. I have learned a) not to talk too much about my plans unless they are well under way and b) to be loving and encouraging of others, even if I think that my friends' plans are too grandiose. Who knows what knowledge and reserves of strength really lurk in the hearts of men and women?

Hope all of your creative projects are going well!

Time to write

Sad news, at least sad to me.

My relationship with my boyfriend has been rocky over the past month. And last Friday, I think the final bell rang.

So, in attempt to look at the bright side...I now have lots more time to write, and nobody to make me feel guilty if I take time to write.

And that guy I saw at a party last March or so...? The one whom I might have like to go out with if I didn't have a boyfriend...? I saw him at church yesterday....

Wish me luck!

I have come up with a creative idea that I am very excited about. Please wish me luck in carrying it through.

Don't worry, I won't keep you in the dark forever, but this idea is in such a new stage that it's not ready to be talked about. You know how it is: women who are pregnant don't tell people about the baby until several months into the pregnancy. NO! I am not pregnant. This is just a metaphor. You know how it is...when you get a creative idea, it has to grow and develop a little before it can survive out in the big, bad world.
