In a Quotable Mood :0)

As many of you know I am addicted to song lyrics and quotes that I can appy to my life! I decided today I would share a few just for fun. So here you go!

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I am with you kid. Let's go." ~Maya Angelou

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. ~Robert Frost

Few of us write great novels; all of us live them. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Life's like a novel with the end ripped out. ~Danny Orton and Blair Daly, "Stand"

Spring Break!

Yea! It's Spring Break, this should mean plenty of time to write.... right? Ok, so it hasn't happened yet. However, I am excited for my work schedule this week because I am going to try and get some time put in behind my laptop on my manuscripts. I also need to wrap up everything for my workshop/conference on Saturday.

I made the decision to save on money (since I am going skydiving in May and other assorted costly adventures) and just get up extremely early to go down to Kansas City for this conference rather than get a hotel the night before. I'm still excited though! I am due for another boost of inspiration! 5 days and counting! Other than this, the week is started and nothing huge is going on. It was a good weekend and it had a very good ending. I wasn't ready to wake up this morning (probably because I was still awake at 4 a.m.), but you have to have a Monday to get a Friday, so I'm not complaining! ;0)

Creatively yours,

Inspiration

I find inspiration in the weirdest things! Tonight, I couldn't sleep because I had too much of my life bouncing around in my brain... so I went for a walk. As I was balancing myself on a curb, I got distracted by a building and suddenly was transfixed on creating a "special story" for it. I then realized that I do that more than I thought! I get creative with the everyday/ordinary stuff... and it's fun! Along my little journey I was able to create several mini-stories in regards to random things I found. It was fun... and it distracted me from my thoughts for a bit.

Inspiration is a very fickle thing... it's different for everyone. For me, I find it in the everyday things that seem extraordinary with a little imagination. In fact... I think we would all be better off if we chose to see beyond the surface. There's more out there than what you see at first glance.... you just have to be willing to open your eyes....
