Oh, hello there!
Thursday, April 16, 2009
It's been a tornado of terrificness over here, let me tell you.
The work has been piling in, which is good for the economics in BonnieLand (real Kraft Dinner for everyone!), but not so good for that lovely novel that was supposed to have been completed by April 12.
:::whistles:::
Yes, I'm back on the horse of words (which sounds more uncomfortable than it is) and making progress. Of course, if I had actually kept up the steady clip I was at before all the work suddenly landed... I'd be in a coma. ;)
And despite all the tales of doom and gloom blowing around and raising prices at the grocery store, I'm finding inspiration wherever I turn.
It's things like reading about someone's first sale (yeah Nelsa!), nomination, win, incredible opportunity or just plain uber-cool happening that remind me how the road isn't always so bumpy and gloomy. Even if the soundtrack's been compiled by Morrisey. ;)
And then there's the lovely warm weather. The crocuses survived the last snowfall of spring and now the kitten wants to go bird hunting. Not that he has a chance at catching one, put Zaphod does get points for effort. And his ability to meowl. A lot.
Will this be all the inspiration I need to finally get this WIP done? YES. Stamped-saved, no erasies. My next WIP is screaming so loud, it's drowning out the cat.
So I'm gonna get back to work, for me.
How about you? What's been inspiring you lately?

Hey, Bonnie! So glad you're getting back up on that word horse. Tame that sucker - you can do it!(While horses usually like sugar cubes my personal wordhorse prefers bar-b-q chips. He lets me share them too.)
What's inspiring me right now? The great weather - it makes me feel like anything is possible.
Thanks for the shout out on the sale. It's one small step forward on a still very long, very unknown road but it's really helped me to keep going.
Hope to see you soon at a TRW meeting!
Nelsa
My word horse seems to like any carb in the house! I was delighted to hear about your book deal -- YAHOO! Now I'll have to totally bug you for details at every meeting. ;)
