Toothaches, Book Ideas, and Other Things That Fill the Hours!

Here I am, once again apologizing for not writing for a few days! But this time, I truly have a good excuse! Shortly after posting my last blog, my lower, right wisdom tooth decided to become a huge pain in my mouth! I made a dentist appointment and the soonest they could get me in was Thursday, by which I was in extreme pain. Long story short, I went in with a painful tooth, and walked (ok stumbled) out with no tooth and loopy as all get out! The dentist claimed it was an emergency and before I knew it he was hooking me up the the laughing gas (first time experience), and I had needles coming at me. Many shots, nurses and two hours later... my tooth was out of my mouth and I... I was out of my mind. Luckily, the laughing gas wore off pretty quick. Then, I headed to work. That night, after I left work four hours early because of the unmeasurable amount of pain, I had almost fallen asleep when the tornado sirens went off. Needless to say, the rest of the evening was... hectic... and painful.

So, the last few days I have been laying low and, so far (knock on wood), seem to be healing pretty well!

I did come up with a cute idea for another book one of the days while I was laying in bed! It's a cute one! But, as always, I refuse to share until it is further developed! I have the basis of it plotted out but as far as characters being named I am not quite there. With me, I either have a character pop into my head and I try to tell their story; or, I have a story and I try and locate the characters who best portray what I am seeing in my head! This time around it was the story!

Other than that, I am on kind of a dull road as far as my writing goes. It is always this was when there are numerous changes happening. It takes awhile for me to settle into a creative environment. I think once I get my desk and set up a special area that things might start popping. I was excited to come up with the idea this last weekend because it's a sign. Nothing huge, but a start is a start!

Well, off I go into librarian mode! Until we meet again, stay creative and out of trouble!

Truly,
Kat
